    A cutesy kid movie about a talking bird who is given to a little girl by her grandfather. Marie (the girl) has speech problems, and Paulie eventually teaches her to talk. Unfortunately, dear daddy doesn't believe Paulie can talk at all, and hands him over to a pet store. The bird...( read more) is passed around like a hot potato and finally lands in a research institute, where he relates his story to the janitor.

    Jay Mohr plays a small role as well as providing the voice of Paulie. I admit, he's great as both. Then again, nobody is really bad .

    Saccharine, almost too much so, but still a good movie when you're on babysitting duty.
