In the THEATRICAL CUT, go to BLOOPERS and then hit the RIGHT ARROW key on your remote.

UPDATE: On the Blu-Ray, Go to EXTRAS, go down to YE OLD CREST MAKER, HIT RIGHT ARROW, THEN DOWN.

Oops.) But I think I’m gonna buy one now – do you have one? Are they cool? Here’s what HollywoodChicago.com said in their review of the Role Models Blu-Ray:

Great Blu-Rays can make you think more fondly of the movie itself and Universal accomplishes that goal with a wonderful release for “Role Models”. The nearly fifty minutes of deleted scenes and alternate takes are surprisingly hilarious. It’s not hard to see why they were cut for the flow of the film, but some are laugh-out-loud funny, a rarity for deleted scenes. And Rashida Jones (appearing with Rudd in the upcoming “I Love You, Man”) even appears in a deleted cameo.

The deleted scenes are just the beginning of why the “Role Models” Blu-Ray delivers. The video transfer, something you wouldn’t usually notice on a comedy, is perfect. There’s depth and vibrancy to the picture that’s usually ignored in video transfers for comedy…

A great gag reel, three more minutes of jokes in the “unrated version,” behind-the-scenes featurettes, a commentary by Wain, and Universal’s awesome U-Control, the feature that allows b-t-s access picture-in-picture as the movie plays, work together to make a collection of special features that perfectly enhance the film itself without feeling like overkill.

Okay! I’m sold! Where do I buy it? (hint: Amazon)

(hint #2 – or anywhere DVDs are sold, March 10th)
