Tribeca Film Festival: What to do this weekend

'Live From New York!'

"Saturday Night Live" has been a staple in pop culture for four decades.

'Slow Learners'

In this quirky comedy, Jeff and Anne find themselves failing at love over and over again. Both have their awkward hang-ups and can't seem to capture what their colleagues and friends have found. So together they decide to shed their personas in exchange for sexy alter egos. What unfurls is more than they ever expected or bargained for. Fri., 6 p.m., Bow Tie Cinemas, 260 W. 23rd St.
