I purchased this movie for my six-year-old daughter, and both she and I love it! This is the story of Paulie, a talented talking parrot who's separated from his beloved owner, Maire, after her parents blame the bird for an accident in which Marie falls from the roof. Initially Paulie's taken to a pawn shop, then passed among a series of owners until finally he ends up in an animal testing lab. Banned to the basement, Paulie befriends the building's janitor, telling him his story and wishes of returning to his original owner. The janitor assists Paulie on his mission and eventually Paulie and Marie reunite. Even though Paulie was sent away and not set free, this movie brings to mind the quote by Richard Bach, "If you love someone, set them free. If they return, they're yours." Also, Paulie's determination to return to Maire truly makes this a story about never giving up on those you love. A great movie for all ages.Read full review
Paulie can reach the heart of any age as the lives of a variety of characters of all ages & walks-of-life are portrayed in their life circumstances. There are those who show great integrity & put their own self in jeopardy in order to do the right thing, while others show that self is most important & forfeit integrity for personal gain. The repercussions of being dishonest are clearly taught as the characters weave their way through a web of destruction & broken hearts that follow. One can truely put their own heart right into the thoughts, feelings & emotions of Paulie the parrot & all the human beings who take part in his adventure. Paulie's adventure takes him through a maize of time, trouble & triumph! The viewer's heart will be blessed along the way with laughter, tears & lots of smiles.Read full review
My Granddaughter just loved this movie she laughed so hard but then she cried when the poor bird was stuck in the cage she said she never knew a bird could talk so she went to her canary and started talking to it but didn't understand why it wouldn't talk to her like Paulie did but she still loves the movie and me being her Grandma I got a big hug and kiss and Thank You Grandma now I can watch it any time I want.

Paulie is an intelligent parrot, misunderstood and neglected. He tells the story of his life to Tony Shalhoub and his encounters with humans while searching for Marie, the love of his life. Gena Rowlands, Tony Shalhoub and Cheech Marin are excellent, as usual. It's a fun, family, film. 5 Stars!

Paulie is the story of a lab animal that gets rescued by a technician. Once recused, Paulie starts talking and never shuts up! And not just a few words, he's very sarcastic. I wouldn't recommend this for young kids even though it's about an animal. I loved it and thought it was adorable.

I bought this DVD for my husband who really loved this picture 'Paulie'. The picture quality was crisp and clear and the DVD case was exceptional. I have never seen a DVD case so stylish, it was really awesome. The DVD also had the characters name and the all the movies that they ever starred in. I thought that was a great idea. I all, it is good deal for the money you pay for it.
If you wish to enjoy a story that will touch your heart, this one is it. I clearly see the message in this movie.....love cannot be seperated. Things might seem grim for a long time. And may even seem to never be able to get any better. However, with determination, and above all......Faith, Hope, and LOVE, you will find your way out. If you have eyes to see, and ears to hear, then you just may get the message that is in this movie. You wont be disappointed. And I know it will become one of those treasured movies that will always be a pleasure to watch over and over.
I absolutely love the little parrot, Paulie!!! They gave him such an excellent personality and made this movie very believable. I was surprised to see Cheech in it, and he had an excellent part too. I don't remember any fowl language that you would want to hide from your kids, unless they are very young, then there might be a couple of words that they haven't learned to ignore yet. There are no "situations" that you should have to hide from any of your kids. It's an excellent family movie. Funny, and heart-warming at the same time. True humor; not slap-stick!
It was a great movie and both my kids love it and there’s 20 years difference between age
