The story is rooted in real feelings and relationships, and parents will find as much to enjoy as children.

Its star is a very appealing little guy. Parents will be mildly amused, too.

Family viewing that soars

Talking bird on a coming-of-age journey with some peril.

My head still throbs from being hit repeatedly with blunt life lessons.

The film is aimed at children, I suppose, although I don't think they'll like Paulie all that much. I didn't.

True family entertainment that caters for grown-ups as much as for kids.

Paulie has moments of minor charm but lacks the magic to fully capture the imaginations of either children or adults.
January 01, 2000
Paulie has elements of a good weepy, but overall it never quite gels beyond being a passable novelty.
January 01, 2000
Unusual and surprisingly agreeable.

A perfect family movie with the intelligence, humor and hug-me moments to be a great first-date movie, too. Just remember to bring a hankie.

Shalhoub gives an impressively nuanced performance in the dangerously cliched role, and Paulie -- a combination of trained parrots, animatronics, and the voice of Mohr -- comes across as a fully developed character.
