Does that really mean I can say whatever I feel like to you without you holding it against me?

Not really. Even if you say, "With all due respect" you can still get in trouble. Like if at school, there's drama going on and the Administartion is being unreasonable, if you say, "With all due respect: you have no idea what you're talking about!" You can still get in trouble because people don't really care about "With all due respect" because how much respect that is due is based after the speaker's feelings.

"With all due respect" is kind of a warning. I believe when we say that first, we are telling people, you may or may not like what I am fixing to say, but I'm saying it anyway.
We have no control as to whether or not, the other person gets upset.

I think the best way to describe how to use this phrase would be as when you disagree with someone such as your boss. Instead of saying "your wrong and I'm right" the more appropriate saying would be "Sir (or ma'am), with all due respect, I think that this (your views) would work better.

No! It is not a way to say anything you want without being hurtful. If you say to someone "With all due respect, I think that you are stupid and ugly." Is that acceptable? Wouldn't it still hurt someone's feelings?

It all depends on what you are going to say. For example: With all do respect but I don't agree with you on the new marketing ideas that you have implemented, may I suggest....

You know what is coming after that intro, can't be good. I believe the term is "with all due respect." (Sorry, I was an English minor, I can't help myself.)

People have a tendency to get upset no matter what. But just remember, the only way it works is if your remark continues to be polite. You can't intentionally insult them, you have to be honest.

no, but it helps as a buffer. People generally will hold it against you no matter what you say.
By the way, great movie :)

nope. everything you say is still held against you. the phrase "with all due respect" simply means you respect them as much as they deserve
