Now this is the kind of extra I can get behind: If you buy on Blu-ray, due out September 28, you get an extra movie. But not to keep.

Get Him to the Greek, a quasi-sequel/spinoff to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, stars Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. The DVD is available in three formats: the Blu-ray, a two-disc Collector’s Edition, and a single-disc DVD. As with other raunchy comedies, they’ve included an unrated cut, plus the original theatrical version.

Blu-ray buyers with an internet-connected player can stream one of three bonus movies — Uncle Buck, Dazed and Confused, or Life — through BD-Live before March 31, 2011. In addition, that format has these exclusive bonus features:

Get Him to the Greek

Additional and extended scenes
Musical performances from The Today Show and VH-1 Storytellers
A karaoke function
Audition tapes for Rose Byrne, Elisabeth Moss, Nick Kroll, Aziz Ansari, and T.J. Miller

These next list of bonus features covers those found on both Blu-ray and the two-disc DVD. (I assume some of them make sense to those who’ve seen the movie.)

Gag reel
Blind Medicine – a promo for Sarah Marshall’s new TV series
Commentary with director Nicholas Stoller and Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Rose Byrne, Elisabeth Moss, and producer Rodney Rothman
Five music videos featuring Aldous Snow, Infant Sorrow, and Jackie Q
Three documentaries
Deleted, extended, and alternate scenes, including an alternate intro and ending
A digital copy of the movie

I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, and when I heard this was the same basic creative team, I decided to check it out.
It’s not a bad film by any stretch, but it lacks some of the charm and sweet humor that balanced out the gross-out humor that both films had in abundance. Brand’s Aldous Snow character played well against the more innocent/sweet characters in FORGETTING, but here, without that contrast, the Aldous Snow character doesn’t work as well.
Worth seeing cheaply if you were a fan of the first film.

Thanks for that — I enjoyed FSM, but I don’t think this one is my kind of humor. I liked the romantic aspect and the island setting of the other. As you put it, I’d want more “charm and sweet humor”.
