i know and i know represent it childish . but i just love this type of movie . a bird that suffer a lot of mishap and still hasn not lose his faith in humanity and his sense of humor . what special about this film be the fact that the main character be paulie the parrot and he not use a a boost to some hotshot human actor . furthermore i like the storyline represent paulie tell his lifestory to a cleaner at the point he hit rock bottom . ( by the way represent jay mohr voice almost sound like joe pesci . ) . and cheech marin of course and the man be humor to me . ever since i saw up in smoke i have appreciate his naive way of performing and make a simple situation a hilarious one . can not help myself .
