The guy from the special Olympics in Rhode Island said in the TV piece I linked to that he had counted the word "retarded" being used 16 times in the film. I am sure that he either saw the film or he read what he knows to be an accurate transcript or else he would have had nothing to count. I have seen the trailer for the film. I know the premise. Believe me Stiller will be receiving no acclaim for the portrayal of the disabled. In fact the character he is portraying, the one called "retard" 16 times, is based on Sly Stallone/Bruce Willis type action hero actors.
