15-year-old Jack Parker is popular at school, has an easy home life, and gets a high chance of winning a scholarship that will lead him to be batboy for the Boston Red Sox. But Parker is a chronic liar whose successes in life have been brought about through various lies he has told. While giving a speech one day, Mikey, a fake kid Parker claimed to be tutoring, suddenly appears, confusing him. Parker questions Mikey but gets no answers to where he came from. As the day goes on, one by one every lie he has told start to come to life, starting with two angry lumberjacks and a possessive, jealous girlfriend, Lisa, from Arizona that sabotages his attempt to seduce Jennifer, a girl he has a crush on. Parker grows jealous of Mikey and Jennifer becoming close friends and humiliates himself in an attempt to separate them.
Parker and his friend Ryan try to figure out why his lies are coming true and track down that a purple hippo mascot from a children's restaurant/fun center has a connection to the occurrences. After chasing it down, the hippo explains that the only way to stop Parker's lies from coming true is to tell the truth. However, he refuses to do it, since the award ceremony is coming soon, and he doesn't want to lose. After, they soon come face-to-face with the lumberjacks again, along with another one of his lies: two alien agents. They are able to escape with the help of Lisa, but only after he tells her the truth. As Parker and Ryan go through the various lies the former has told, Parker realises he had lied about being the adoptive son of 2 Asian parents to get out of school on a holiday and finds the lie to have come true with his real parents having been replaced.
After a conversation with a man practicing his baseball hits (who he later discovers was his baseball hero, Danny Kostas, getting over a slump), Parker comes clean at the award ceremony and is disqualified, losing the scholarship. Despite telling the truth, he and Ryan soon see all of his lies in the hall, not having gone away. They run into an empty room where they saw the hippo and Parker confronts it over why the lies haven't gone away. the hippo reveals itself to be his sister, Hannah, who was fed up with his lies and wanted to teach him a lesson. She reveals that the lies were just actors and other people using special effects, and that they rehearsed the plot for months. They soon reconcile, but Jack's parents arrive and ground him by making him clean the whole garage. In the end, he finishes cleaning up the garage, finishes his punishment and learns his lesson about lying.
He visits Jennifer to apologize and promises he will never lie again for now. They soon take off in a limo to Fenway Park, with the compliments of Danny.
