Even Movies About Hotel Handymen Don't Do Too Well

Long-time readers of HotelChatter know that silly reality shows and TV sitcoms about hotels and their employees never seem to do well. A few examples? Welcome to the Parker and Do Not Disturb.. Oh and there's more.

Things don't seem to fare too well on the big-screen either. In Adam Sandler's latest movie, Bedtime Stories, he plays Skeeter, a hotel handyman in a hotel owned by the Nottingham family (which mildly resembles the Hilton family.) The film centers around the bedtime stories that Skeeter tells his niece and nephew and the discovery that whatever the kids suggest for the storylines ends up happening in real life the next day. Film.com explains:

It rains gumballs in his story, it rains gumballs in his life. The catch is that it only applies to the story elements suggested by the kids; his own wishes remain unfulfilled.

This sounds an awful lot like Click for kids.
