Trivia:
The set that Jason and Kaylee walk through while on the studio lot is the set used for The Scorpion King (2002). Memnon's statue can be seen in the background at one point.

Goofs:
Continuity: When Jason finishes writing his story "Big Fat Liar", he staples the papers together, but when Marty Wolf picks it up in his limo, the papers are not stapled. Also, the writing of the title "Big Fat Liar" looks different from when we see Jason writing it (especially the "i" in "liar").

[Frank has busted Kaylee and Jason] I got some R-rated dialogue, but I'm gonna keep it PG. I'm gonna keep it PG!

Big Fat Liar is the type of movie I would've liked even more if I was younger and by that I reccomend this movie to the kids and if the parents don't want to go see Collateral Damage or Black Hawk Down or whatever, they might chuckel as well.
Frankie Muniz plays a young teen who is usually lying a lot, and when he really looses a paper for school in a movie producer's (Paul Giamatti's) limo and winds up in summer school, he decides to go with his girlfriend (Amanda Bynes) to Hollywood to confront him. But it isn't as easy as he thought for him to fess up. Giamatti's blue man scenes are some of the funniest scenes he's had in movies since Private Parts. Other scenes vary on the person, however. Grade: B
