Jason Bateman was so sublimely awkward yet takin'-care-of-business as beleaguered scion Michael Bluth on Arrested Development, it sometimes got us thinking he was even hotter than his character's sublimely awkward son George Michael (aka Michael Cera)--a delicious dilemma. We are so happy that this TV lad-and-dad duo's careers have blown up a little bit since AD's premature demise. The Alamo Drafthouse also has plenty of love for Bateman: They're celebrating his birthday with two midnight screenings of Teen Wolf Too.

Filling the small but perfectly formed shoes of Michael J. Fox was no easy task after the success of the original Teen Wolf, but Bateman stepped up with sufficiently hammy 80's white-boy appeal to spare. The story follows Teen Wolf to college, where he uses his werewolfery to become a star boxer. And you know what that means: action shots of the wolf suit flying through the air clad in sweatbands! When he's not in the ring, Teen Wolf satisfies the '80s campus requisites of partying, babes and red convertibles until his dual identity poses a soul-searching conflict. According to the Alamo Drafthouse, "Teen Wolf Too is secretly an 80's beer-swilling masterpiece." We're inclined to agree. What's not to love about that hairy chest and denim jacket?
