Don’t let the audience hijinks fool you: This weekend’s chat between Matthew Broderick and Alec Baldwin at the Hamptons Film Festival gave the two old acting chums almost a full hour to catch up — often hilariously so, with Saturday’s ostensible tribute to Broderick generally resulting in a freewheeling gab session between the guys.

And that’s when Charlie Sheen officially morphed into a sweaty and twitchy edition of The Onion . Speaking with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, the future radio station said that he plans on heading to Haiti (!) with Sean Penn (!!) to do humanitarian work. “I’m excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting,” said Sheen in the most flagrant example yet of his addiction to mixed metaphors. What else is happening in Sheenworld?

So not only does Take Me Home Tonight get the small details wrong — someone makes a Rain Man reference even though TMHT is set during Labor Day Weekend 1988 and Rain Man wouldn’t be seen for a few more months — it also fails to capture the charm and the laughs that we think of when we recall the great teen flicks of the 1980s. And even taking the great John Hughes out of the equation (and seriously, TMHT , how very DARE you have sent your characters to “Shermer High”? Blasphemy!), there are plenty of actual ’80s movies that will bring you far more joy this weekend on DVD than this crappy new comedy. Ahead, five better options.

Judged on a curve, set by the testosterone-fueled raunch-a-thons that have dominated teen comedies from American Pie to Superbad and beyond, Easy A deserves an A+, with extra credit for lack of misogyny, cock talk, or flatulence. But curves or concessions aren’t necessary. Not when the film exhibits this much wit and intelligence, and not with Emma Stone casually owning the screen and turning this buoyant lark into a star-making vehicle of Pretty Woman proportions.

In his 30 years as a showbiz mainstay, Alan Ruck has starred in movies and TV shows that have come to exemplify their times. The John Hughes movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , in which Ruck played hooky accomplice Cameron Frye, remains a hallmark for rambunctious ’80s teen comedies, while Spin City , where Ruck played the quipping Stuart Bondek, typifies the multicamera sitcom streak of the ’90s. Now, his new NBC miniseries Persons Unknown encapsulates the DVD -friendly serializaed appeal of television today, complete with a jigsaw mystery that can please fans of Veronica Mars , Lost , and The Twilight Zone alike. Ruck phoned Movieline last week to discuss the curious production of Persons Unknown , his disappointment with current TV, and the legacy of John Hughes.
