I think this piece sums up the controversy pretty well.

MSNBC.com piece.

In the movie Stiller's character is referred to as a "retard" 16 times, apparently as a pejorative. certainly as an insult. I think its cheap and dirty and thoughtless, typical of the writing of Ben Stiller. he's OK doing other people's stuff, but his writing is awful.
