A few comments:
I saw this movie and loved it.
The word retard was only excessively used in one scene, but people are overly sensitive.
Ben Stiller was my least favorite character out of the actors dropped in to make the movie, but still wasn't terrible.
This movie further proved to me that Jack Black is good as a secondary character despite me hating him as the main star (i.e. School of Rock, Nacho Libre, etc.)
Spoiler:
Tom Cruise was great when he was angry and cursing at people over the phones, but the 2 times he danced were my least favorite parts of the movie.

I overwhelmingly agree with you (and maybe Cruise was a bit over-the-top in parts) but every other part of the movie was flat-out hilarious.
