While TrueHD seems like overkill for a comedy, the film does benefit. From the opening wedding sequence which nicely surrounds the viewer with chatter, to the crowded city streets, and finally into the resort, there’s always some fine sound work to admire. While there’s nothing to deliver on the low end, the film does manage a fine surround field for most of its dialogue scenes. 
Extras are sparse, and seem more concerned about behind-the-scenes events than the making of the film itself. A commentary from the Farrelly Brothers discusses updating the film (this is a remake), and the general shooting location. Four short featurettes are forgettable. The best one is about the egg-toss tournament that took place on the set. The Halloween party one is a waste of disc space, seemingly made purely for those who worked on the movie while everyone else is left out.
Only one, a 16-minute piece called The Farrelly Brothers in the French Tradition contains making-of material. A gag reel has some minor laughs, and the seven minutes of deleted scenes do little to enhance the film, or increase its laugh quota. 
Heartbreak Kid wasn’t a huge box office hit, and haunted Ben Stiller during last years MTV Movie Awards. In a skit designed to promote Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey Jr. retorts that at least he didn’t star in Heartbreak Kid. That short skit arguably offers more laughs than this entire film.

"(this is a remake)"
In name alone. The original is really good.
"In a skit designed to promote Tropic Thunder"
the same one that appeared on the TT disc?

Yeah, same on the Thunder disc. After Stiller hurls the hooker insult at Downey, he comes back with a crack about Heartbreak kid.
