🎬 Paulie 2 (2025)
👉 Gena Rowlands, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin
He’s back — older, wiser, and still talking up a storm.
Years after his incredible cross-country adventure, the world’s most talkative parrot returns in Paulie 2, a touching and funny sequel that soars to new emotional heights. Now living a peaceful life with Misha (Tony Shalhoub), Paulie (once again full of sass, smarts, and heart) begins to feel the pull of adventure once more when he discovers that the little girl who once loved him — Marie — has grown up and vanished from his life. Determined to find her again, Paulie takes flight on a new journey filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt discovery.
But the world has changed since Paulie’s last trip. As he flies across modern America, he encounters new friends and old faces — including Ivy (Gena Rowlands), a wise retiree who gives Paulie a place to rest and reflect, and Chico (Cheech Marin), a fast-talking mechanic who helps him navigate the chaos of the human world. Along the way, Paulie becomes an unexpected inspiration to everyone he meets — teaching them about forgiveness, courage, and what it means to really listen.
When Paulie finally tracks down Marie, now an adult struggling to find her place in the world, the reunion is bittersweet. Their bond — once built on pure childhood wonder — now must survive the weight of time, loss, and change. But through humor, honesty, and that unshakable parrot personality, Paulie reminds her — and all of us — that love never really flies away; it just waits to be found again.
With a perfect blend of heartwarming nostalgia and fresh adventure, Paulie 2 is a story about rediscovering hope, reconnecting with the past, and realizing that family doesn’t always come from where you were born — sometimes, it’s who you flew beside.
Tender, funny, and deeply human, Paulie 2 captures everything audiences loved about the original — the wit, the warmth, and the voice that still refuses to be caged. Because some stories — and some friendships — deserve a second flight.
