For the home release, an approximately 5 minute longer version has been created, which is rather not worth much excitement. The various differences are all rather unspectacular and can be regarded as filling material. The shorter scenes in the theatrical version make sense mostly. Only a few acceptable extra jokes were added by the changes (Clive's shopping instructions or the nicked quote by Paul, coming together through extended scenes at the beginning and at the end of the film). Additionally, some characters are described a little deeper (Ruth's eye had not been medically treated because of the strong religiousness of her father). With many of these changes, some short moments of the theatrical release get lost - the term "alternative material" should not be taken too seriously, as it is often just an unspectacular different shot leading into the next scene.
