    • Trivia
      Steven Soderbergh attached the following list of rules to the screenplay to his low budget ($2 M) film with a huge list of stars:
      • 1. All sets are practical locations.
      • 2. You will drive yourself to the set. If you are unable to drive yourself, a driver will pick you up, but you will probably become the subject of ridicule. Either way, you must arrive alone.
      • 3. There will be no craft service, so you should arrive on set "having had". Meals will vary in quality.
      • 4. You will pick, provide, and maintain your own wardrobe.
      • 5. You will create and maintain your own hair and make-up.
      • 6. There will be no trailers. The company will attempt to provide holding areas near a given location, but don't count on it. If you need to be alone a lot, you're pretty much screwed.
      • 7. Improvisation will be encouraged.
      • 8. You will be interviewed about your character. This material may end up in the film.
      • 9. You will be interviewed about the other characters. This material may end up in the finished film.
      • 10. You will have fun whether you want to or not. If any of these guidelines are problematic for you, stop reading now and send this screenplay back where it came from.
    • Goofs
      Catherine's black notebook and pen suddenly appear on the airplane armrest between shots, after her tape player clicks.
    • Quotes

      Carl: I think Lee is like... Have you ever seen a dog get hit by a car but walk away? And there's this impact and you know something terrible has happened to that dog but it walks away and it doesn't seem to even realize the implications cause it just goes on. But you know that something terrible has happened inside this dog. That's, I think, what happened to Lee. It's like she's a dog that got hit by a car, and she walked away and she's still walking, but some very, very important things inside her are damaged.

    • Crazy credits
      Brad Pitt is credited as playing 2 characters: "Brad Pitt" and "Himself".
    • Alternate versions
      An extended version was released in 2013 in the Blu-Ray released by Echo Bridge Entertainment. It runs for 112 min (instead of 101 in the theatrical version) and expands several scenes, rearranges the order of some others and takes out two scenes.

    Great idea, bad handling

    I wish FULL FRONTAL was just better made, that's all. As somebody who in works in Digital Video, it just would of been great to see members of the Hollywood A-list (Soderburgh, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, etc etc) be in a great, crowd pleasing film that was made with the video equipment I use. Instead, we had a confusing film that caters to an art-house crowd, or at least, tries to. Too many times, the camera is operated in a way to say "Hey look, don't pay attention to the story, pay attention to this sun-glare, or bad zoom.)
