Blu-Ray Review: Very Funny ‘Get Him to the Greek’ With Jonah Hill
Submitted by BrianTT on September 28, 2010 - 4:04pmCHICAGO – Like a lot of comedies, “Get Him to the Greek,” now available on Blu-ray and DVD, actually plays better at home than it did in theaters.

It’s one of the best comedy BD releases of the season.
