I saw this film. I know it got some critique herein for the use of the word "retard", but that's a non issue when you consider content and context.
There's a whole rift about how actors get Academy Award nominations when they play mentally handicapped people. CHARLY, RAIN MAIN, FORREST GUMP, etc...
So the discussion of doing "the full retard" as given in the film makes sense: it was actors bragging about skills.
And I can recall one of the films that brought lots of protest and it was condemned by people who had never seen it. That evil film LIFE OF BRIAN. Hideous. It will kill Christianity. It was satire, and the condemnations from those who never saw it made their assertions sound absurd, and bigoted. The stance they took was undermined by their lack of knowledge.
Go figure.
Very funny film though. Tom Cruise is in it, but you'll have to look hard...
