What if the stories u told came to life?

Skeeter Bronson grew up in his family's hotel. When poor dad couldn't make a go of the business, he sold the property to Barry Nottingham who promised Skeeter would one day run the hotel. But Barry didn't keep his word. The adult Skeeter is employed at the hotel, but as a maintenance guy – not in management. Yet Skeeter loves the place and treats it like home, despite the fact he's treated like a bug everyone in management would like to exterminate.

Meanwhile, on the home front his sister is in the process of losing her job as an elementary school principal due to the fact her school's closing down. She enlists Skeeter to take care of her two kids and a bug-eyed guinea pig (the cutest/funniest thing about this whole movie) while she's away job hunting for a week. He reluctantly agrees. And of course, that leads to - taa-daa!!! - the telling of bedtime stories. As he makes up funny tales for the kids, it's quickly evident that whatever they contribute to his stories comes true in real life. This sets up a series of hysterical incidents (if you're 5-12 years old) in which Skeeter learns super important life lessons. Mix into the plot a competition between he and hotel executive Kendall over the theme for a brand new hotel and a budding romantic relationship with a perky teacher and that's pretty much it.
