Trivialidades:

Although this movie takes place in a fake movie studio there are many props and set pieces from a number of different Universal Studios' releases. For example, the DeLorean from Back to the Future (1985), a raptor from The Lost World: Jurassic Park, E.T., and set pieces from The Mummy series. These are just a few of many.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Jason's sister's boyfriend arrives, he clearly switches off his engine and removes the key, but the sound of the engine can still be heard. When he gets in the car again, the keys are in his hand but the engine is still running.

Quotes:

Marty Wolf: Okay, listen up. This is where you went wrong. You should've forged a doctor's note, changed your dad to your sister, and the meatball to a chicken leg. Trust me, it's much easier to swallow if you GMD which means get my drift.

Works best for kids, but parents won't be put-down by it either

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
