Summary: 4 Stars
Loved it, great for the whole family even though adult type themes and humor are rampant in film, children will love PaulieMovie Review: It's the parrot that I loathe the most
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, so this film is decent at best. It looks good, and has some tender moments. There are a few beautiful shots of suburbia, Los Angeles, and Mother nature. The music sounds nice, and the actors give satosfactory performances. This is certainly a good-looking film. And why doesn't it work? Well, because Paulie the parrot is not a very good character. To be completely honest, I don't like the parrot at all. He's the protagonist, so he's supposed to be very likable. But in the second half of the film, he simply cannot shut up. He constantly spews out one-liners, puns, absurdities, insults, blah blah blah. The makers of this movie should have at least toned it all down by giving him less dialogue. I guess kids will love him (this is a family film indeed), but I can't help but detest him. Jay Mohr does a nice job with his voice, though. So, my feelings are really mixed about this film. I can recommend this film with its look and feel, but at the same time, I can't recommend this because of the parrot himself.
Grade: C
Movie Review: Decent family fare
Summary: 3 Stars
While "Paulie" can be endearing and has moments of enchantment, it follows a formula so old that it's more than a bit frayed around the edges. A little girl is separated from a beloved pet. The pet has many adventures trying to find the little girl. He is finally caught by a team of scientists, who the formula dictates nust be insensitive and mad. A sensitive employee with a low paying job saves Paulie. The inevitable happy ending follows. Of interest to me is that the director, John Roberts, has just one other film to his credit. This is the marvelous family film, "The War of the Buttons" [1994].
Paulie looks very realistic, except when he flies. When he does this, it looks like he's being moved around on a string.
There is a plot twist at the end, which adults will already have figured out, but which will surprise children.
