Query: A John Hughes comedy without John Hughes ain't much...

This kinda movie makes you realize just what a Master the Great John Hughes was at family comedy. The Home Alones, Uncle Buck, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller, etc... Everything the guy touched turned to gold. Whatever happened to him anyway? They sure coulda used him here. This movies tries hard to be a Hughes type of film but all I could think while watching was how it could have been better scripted, acted, directed, scored, and better jokes.A lame directorial attempt made worse by the lame comedic timing of Ashton Kutcher, a lack of Steve Martins trademark physical comedy, and too many Nike endorsements among others. How many scenes was that one kid wearing that same Old Navy shirt?!?For those looking for a decent later years Steve Martin effort, Bringin Down the House was way better than this schlup, if there is such a word.
