Description of Paulie:
The human beings are almost as interesting as the title character in this surprisingly subtle and engaging film about the cross-country adventures of a smart-mouthed parrot. As director John Roberts deploys the footage, the bird becomes a vivid personality; every quizzical twist of his head is oddly expressive. The people who interact with Paulie are a quirky and interesting bunch as well, and the casting is topnotch: Tony Shalhoub (The Siege) as a Russian immigrant janitor, Cheech Marin as an open-hearted mariachi musician, and Gena Rowlands as a widowed painter in a footloose Winnebago--all are vividly eccentric individuals, memorable in their own right. There are some tired swipes at the cold-blooded meanies of Big Science (beady-eyed researcher Bruce Davison has Paulie clapped in irons), but for the most part the film respects the complexity of everyone's motivations, and that's virtually unheard of in today's Hollywood, even in films supposedly designed for grownups. --David Chute

2009-11-12 - Paulie is a family friendly film. It is a film of hope, love and wisdom. A love story of a little girland the parrot Paulie that changed her life. Beautifulwould recommend it highly. Have viewed it 10 times so far. Each time I learn another lesson and am so
inspired. Tony Shalob (Monk) is awesome in his portrayal of a Russian immigrant. Recommend it highly.
Paulie
2009-09-08 - I really love this movie. Paulie's life story is very sweet and touching. It looks at the different relationships he develops with the people (and animals) he encounters on his many journeys. He is essentially on a life long quest to be reunited with his first owner, a little girl with a speech impediment. He meets many people, some unsavory, some helpful and kind, some selfish, some colorful, along the way that makes this an endearing movie that moves me to tears at points. There is some language that is not appropriate for children although it seems to be geared towards a younger audience. I think adults will also find this movie fun, funny and touching.
