All the racial and disabled stuff aside, the movie flat out sucked.
Offensive? Eh, somewhat. Crappy? Yes.

Although if you want to see a crappier movie that already exists, check out
the Godzilla remake. It's the only movie I've ever wanted to walk out of.
Sadly I couldn't because I had my friend's birthday present in my car.

Too keep this from being too off topic the present happened to be The Great
Rail Wars game.. ;-)
