I have met lots of retards and none of them are nearly as obnoxious and annoying as Rosie's character.

I guess I should have said she plays it entertaining, not well or accurate *shrug*

Then again, I only base this off the commercials. I never watched the thing. It's probably grating after 30 seconds ha
 
This movie is a real life Simple Jack. I can't believe no one on set told Rosie to tone it down and not act like a Middle Schooler imitating the Special Ed kids.

This is exactly the sort of thing Tropic Thunder was spoofing with Simple Jack, as well as other movies like Radio and I Am Sam.

Actors playin' 'tards in hopes of critical acclaim was a trends for years after Rain Man (to be fair, one of those movies, Sling Blade, is really good)

This is IRL Beth and Rachel. @Spl00gies is right, they did do a good job casting

I know who could play Beth in future sequels, though:

I mean, these two look a lot more Jewish, but still pretty close.

I actually thought it was really sweet, but I'm on the tail-end of my period so everything is heart-wrenchingly emotional right now.
I don't envy you.
Also: ewwww, gross!
