Trivia
Buddy Hackett auditioned to do the voice of Paulie but lost to Jay Mohr, who did an impression of Hackett. Buddy Hackett does appear in the film in a small role as Artie, the Pawn Broker, and during his scene Mohr also appears in person as Benny. Hackett also did the voice of the talking seagull Scuttle in The Little Mermaid (1989).

Goofs
When Marie and her mother are hugging each other after Marie says, "Cup" while struggling, you can see that Paulie pooped on the table.

Quotes
Paulie: There are things in life you put off, because you think you're gonna do them later. But the real thing Ivy taught me is you gotta live like there may not be a later.

I know what you're thinking....

You're thinking something along the lines of "a schmaltzy movie about a talking parrot. Puh-leeeeeez!" I had somewhat the same reaction when I came across this on cable. Then I looked at the cast and said to myself, gee, how bad can a script be when Gena Rowlands and Tony Shaloub sign on? And my gosh, there's Buddy Hacket, in his last full length studio movie. To cut to the chase, this is the kind of movie the Disney Studios used to make; a charming, witty, sentimental movie with appeal for the whole family, and a few life lessons thrown in for good measure. I was totally enchanted (and I'm 72!) and the movie made me forget my cynicism. Is it a "feel good" movie? For sure. And can't we do with a few more feel-good movies, as opposed to movies that, after seeing them, you either feel like taking a shower or hanging yourself (or both, in that order)?
