Paulie tells Misha that he was given to a little girl named Marie (Hallie Kate Eisenberg), who had severe learning disabilities. As he is cleaning up, he hears somebody singing wistful tunes about love and life and discovers that this parrot can actually talk, not just repeat what someone says … but ….TALK! After some wheedling, Misha gets the parrot, whose name is Paulie, to tell his story. In the basement of the laboratory, Misha finds a parrot whom everyone says is dangerous. Although he was a professor of literature in Russia, he has been reduced to working as a janitor in America. Misha came to America to be a “big shoot” (Note: Misha doesn’t like to use the past tense now that he is in America). PAULIE starts out with a Russian immigrant named Misha (Tony Shalhoub) coming to work at a laboratory which is trying to find a way that people can communicate with animals. PAULIE is lighter but still presents a realistic, gritty ambiance. With MOUSETRAP, DreamWorks made a film noir for children.

It is a movie with a big heart and deserves better than being depreciated by profanity. Therefore, PAULIE is not a movie for little children. Only two things detract from this morality tale: one blatant profanity and, the stark realism. Greed and evil are exposed, and crime is rebuked. Misha learns he must speak up at the right time, while Paulie learns that he must not talk too much. When caught stealing, he says that nobody ever taught him that stealing was wrong, but he learns that stealing is wrong. Paulie learns some good lessons in this coming of age parrot story. Misha takes pity on Paulie and decides to spring him from his laboratory prison. Paulie also tells Misha about how he learned to talk and how he made his way to Los Angeles.
