Proof that DVDs can make good movies even better: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the tale of a just-dumped composer (How I Met Your Mother's Segel, doing double duty as screenwriter) goes from funny to hilarious with this three-disc set's EXTRAS, like a featurette on comic Russell Brand's turn as a rock-star lothario (he ad-libbed his best bits). Brand and producer Shauna Robertson end up co-opting the commentary — but their jokes are way too dirty to print. B+
