Lol what are you trying to be? Whatever it is it's corny and forced.

[@caribbeanman3379]

Another movie with the villain as the protagonist: Maleficent.

[@simonjackson617]

A good film were u root for the villan is the joker it a top teir movie in my opinion u just have to watch it will deffo have u in a number of emotions brilliant acting

[@johnsantos507]

Watch Despicable Me 2 next.

[@YourlocalAustralian]

it's cool that you're reacting to more comedy movies now, can't wait till you see grown ups and 50 first dates, some of my favourite adam sandler movies

[@godzillarwby1755]

"Cookie robots. I said cookie robots. Why- Why are you so old?" My favorite line out of the whole film

[@hempsellastro]

I saw this in the cinema in 2010 -after the financial crash and we were all still experiencing the fallout. “Bank of Evil: formerly Lehman Brothers” just killed me. It was worth the ticket price for that alone.

[@cliffchristie5865]

In regard to Gru's disclaimer about the fictional nature of his storybook, if you watch enough movies eventually you will see the same thing in the credits. It usually reads something like " this is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

[@ATAS18.]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that lol

[@Gonzo94m]

Gru was super focused on the moon and only cared about that achievement. When he achieved that goal...he quickly realized it was an empty feeling. Family and love fills the heart

[@GuukanKitsune]

One of the things I like about this movie is that the Minions are half competent at best, and any other movie would have the main character snap under pressure at their antics constantly screwing things up during the climax where he's so under pressure to succeed. Not here, though. Gru gets annoyed, and corrects his minions when they mess up, but he NEVER snaps at them or shouts. Not even when he's facing ruin. Not even at his lowest point. He just sadly tells them what's going down and that they should maybe find other employment and how much he appreciates and cares about them. Like many villains, his minions are all identical except for four variants... but unlike many villains he not only considers them and knows EVERY ONE of them by name and can tell which one he's looking at with no problem. That tells you a lot about Gru without any exposition. It is SO perfectly done. He's a jerk, but he has a heart of gold. He's a villain but he's a villain that has loved ones. He, Dr. Nefario, and the Minions are not just working together, they're a family. He loves them, and they love him. It's why he slid straight into fatherhood for the girls to the point he had to keep them. He was already halfway there at the start.

[@kevinjamesgumasing4139]

Unexpected best caring dad

[@starthefrakkfangirl6094]

Yup. Personally I Always feel fuzzy whenever he goes full dad mode and also protective mode at times.

[@RoGueNavy]

Just wait, the sequels get even more adorable.

[@Stri-ir9hp]

And the minion movies were adorable too

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Such a great film. The first two Despicable Me was a breath of fresh air, absolutely hilarious, fun and fresh, and the film that shot Illumination to the animated studios upper rank. Sure, most of their films after would be mediocre at best, but their first try, is an absolute gem.

[@brunokingz]

@@the1logicalvoice Said no one ever

[@KelpyG.]

The first Despicable me is a gem indeed. Everything else is meh

[@pinapplegaming5781]

bro you are EVERYWHERE!!!

[@EdenLovesDragonsForSomeReason]

For a studio’s first film on a budget, this movie is one of the best of the early 21st century

[@Blazingstoke]

The "Minion Glow Stick" gag had me laughing so hard in the cinema - easily my favorite bit in the movie. 🤣🤣🤣

[@thedarkknight2221]

I love fact that the DIRECTOR OF THE MOVIE (Pierre Coffin) is the voice of all of the Minions!

[@digitaltrekkie]

28:55 Astronomy teacher here! Rockets drop lower portions (called "stages") once that portion of the rocket runs out of fuel; the upper stages still have fuel, but if you shed to empty useless metal hulls below them that you don't need, you get rid of a LOT of dead weight. As a result, the rocket becomes lighter and lighter, needing less powerful engines and lower fuel consumption. You use the giant stages with the huge engines to get off of Earth, and the lighter smaller engines to make the delicate course correction and circularization burns to stay in orbit and reach specific targets in space thousands of miles away. In short, they drop those stages like that because its efficient to shuck dead weight.

[@andrewkelley434]

I love this movie! When I first heard Margo's "I love you", it made me choke up, so beautifully done!

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

It’s refreshing to see a fresh reaction to an Illumination film. It’s actually every real language combined to make Gibberish

[@LadyDoomsinger]

28:57 Booster rockets are detached from the main module after the fuel is spent to reduce weight.

[@SeedFactoryProject]

The energy to reach Earth orbit is about twice the energy in the best rocket fuel. So a simple way to think about it is the first stage (booster) gets you about halfway to orbit, and the second finishes the job. The details are more complicated, but that is a rough idea of why most rockets use two stages. (Yes, I'm a rocket scientist 🙃).

[@commanderkruge]

One of my personal favourite movie trope is the "hero against their will" people. The guys who start out on the wrong end of the law, but then begrudgingly, almost against their will, will do the right thing when it really COUNTS. See Han Solo in Star Wars - that's the kind. Gru is such a lovely, wholesome example. Big bad guy gets a bunch of adorable kids to use them in a scheme, but then, actually, becomes emotionally attached to them and turns nice. Awww. :)

[@stokeyarcanum5754]

I've always wanted to swe gru and megamind go at it lol

[@papasilver]

So the minions all speak Minionese which is a mixture of english, spanish, chinese, and often times gibberish haha. I can't wait to see you react to Despicable Me 2!

[@chrisantony6218]

"physical appearance of the please, doesn't change anything." I have seen this movie lots of times but it's the first time I've heard and noticed it and i love it

[@misterprickly]

Fun fact: Miranda Cosgrove (Carley from iCarley) played Margo, Russel Brand played Dr Nefario and Julie Andrews played Gru's mom.

[@deanmorton6537]

Despite the movie reaction itself, what caught my attention is Mary comparing a part from the Big Lebowski with "a world of pain". Brightened my day by a million

[@deathninja16]

The fact you're using Steve Carrell clips in a movie with Steve is fantastic.

[@disposablehero4911]

Can't believe I missed that

[@tommcewan7936]

28:56 Once the fuel tank is empty, it's just dead weight. Giving rockets multiple stages they can shed in flight means the later stages have less mass to accelerate. Rocket engine nozzles also work best at one particular air pressure; muti-staging lets you step through different nozzles that are tailored to different altitudes. Movies like this, though, mostly just do rocket staging because *everyone* remembers seeing the Saturn V do it during the Apollo programme, or has seen it in movies about Apollo, and it looks really epic!

[@NoCampDad]

Don't spend all your time shooting for the moon, when you're surrounded by little angels.

[@LittleMan27]

They used Vector as the villain because a vector is a quantity having direction and magnitude, especially to determine the position of one point in space relative to another (Examples are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, etc; which indicate the direction of the quantity and its magnitude). That’s why he shrank the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the whole plot revolves around them trying to steal the moon. Those are just some objects that can be located using vectors.

[@unforeseeable2.058]

Oh yeah!

[@Agent.Bob58]

I LOVE this film! My daughter has been through the Agnes and Edith stages and we're completely in the Margot stage right now! One Big Unicorn needs publishing! Great reaction Mary 👍

[@Glisern]

They drop the first stage because it's fuel and engines are only meant to get the "working" part into space. Once that's done it's not needed anymore so it's detached.

[@trunksGav]

6:56 Steve Carrell saying Roasted was a good apt call

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Speaking as a father... how long you can hold your breath is incredibly relevant!

[@movielover828]

One of my lifelong favorites during my childhood, hands down. Thanks for the reaction!👏🏻💯

[@MaryCherryOfficial]

No problem!!

[@MrDarkness4]

I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in 2013

[@joshuagorski9452]

The recorded message and rules scenes crack the SH*T outta me!!! (I also used to do Gru’s BEEP to annoy my 🐶)

[@UTU49]

This movie is hilarious, heart-warming, and contains the maximum amount of silliness allowed by physics in this galaxy.

[@Berry_84]

I remember this movie was EVERYWHERE, when it first came out.

[@warrenelkins1861]

Igor is another villain-centric animated film worth watching .

[@DavidVazquezzz]

I recently saw 'Eight Grade' a few months ago and I was blown away when I found out the main character in that movie voiced Agnes in 'Despicable Me'!

[@manuelmelendez3140]

Finding out that Dame Julie Andrews voiced Gru's mother was a kicker for me. This was a great movie and I try to watch it when it's on television.

[@Trifler500]

28:57 - They drop the bottom stage (or two on some rockets) because the rocket has spent the fuel in that section, so it's just dead weight. Dropping it saves the rocket from having to carry that dead weight the rest of the way.

[@agenttheater5]

24:39 The 'terrible parent, great grandparent' trope. I think there's been a few cases of that happening in real life - ok in the case I heard it wasn't so much terrible parent more.....well there was tension and the parent preferred to go to the bar rather than stay and deal with problems, but talking over what happened to them as children with their children helped a lot and their relationship got better with time.

[@BailyC295]

I like the coincidental use of the “Boom Roasted” clip from a Steve Carell show in a Steve Carell movie.

[@josezamarron1064]

12:20 ‘Ms. Hattie is waiting for another visit’ Ayo ? 😂

[@Mr59Kenzo]

HI Mary this first one is my Favorite saw it with my boys when they were small, my favorite bit is when Agnes get the Pink fluffy Unicorn "It's so fluffy" cracks me up every time. Loved your reactions

[@LittleMan27]

Infinity War. Thanos is the villain but he’s the protagonist because the plot is about his goal of gathering the 6 stones, and we get a backstory on how he adopts Gamora, a backstory on how his planet was destroyed & why he’s doing that

[@RustyDust101]

You might want to see the multiple Minion shorts. Especially the "safety instructions movie" for minions is probably going to crack you up. They'll give you a lot of insight into the minions background.

[@gatokawaii3996]

It's good to see how this movie is still getting love

[@thegreatbocaj]

One of the most adorable modern kids movies ever!!! Good for all ages!!!

[@IconicEnemy]

Vector-Booyah!!! Me-Hey! You stole that from Cyborg! My guy Victor Stone.

[@jasonj8816]

Russell Brand is a great voice actor. I can't believe he voiced Dr. Nefario.

[@Zechs113]

enjoy these movies I often watch them with my niece. I have a projector set up at my parents on the porch and we sometimes watch them outside when I'm over.

[@jarvisstark3097]

4:40 I now LOVE minions simply because of Mary's sense of humor 💀

[@michaelakers8698]

Best line of the movie " it's so fluffyyyyyy!!!!"

[@greigclement9081]

Another good animated comedy from the same studio as Despicable Me is "The Secret Life of Pets"

[@micahslaydon7324]

I don’t know why but Gru kind of looks like and reminds me of Lex luthor

[@Lachievloger5678]

I loved this movie so much when it was first released and I loved the sequel a lot more so I recommend you reacting to Despicable Me 2, thanks so much for reacting to that 😊 Also there are 899 minions in total

[@xenxander]

21:10 the voice actor for the carnie guy who has the unicorn is the same voice actor who played "Fix it Felix Jr" in "Wreck it Wralph". Jack McBrayer Kinda fun to hear him voice a 'dickhead' as well as the 'ultra good guy' from 'ralph'.

[@NoblePoshy]

I liked this movie a lot. Even though I'm an adult, I noticed that a lot of the children's movies have really good storylines these days. Great video Cherry. 🙂

[@Dekrayzis]

Minions and its sequel Minions: Rise of Gru are actually prequels to the Despicable Me movies.

[@chameleonvr4]

Hello Mary how are you! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I hope you're doing great! 28:56 That's just a Rocket booster that they drop. It's for getting out of the Earth's atmosphere and once the booster is out of fuel it is dead weight so they release it from the shuttle or main rocket since we're not even using shuttles anymore. Anyways I love watching your reviews and this one was absolutely hilarious! I've always loved the lines, "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!" "It's so fluffy!" So glad u watched this one first! ❤🤍💙💛

[@godzillalover2]

I loved all of the movies, but the second one was a real treat.

[@Juanthecarguy1]

I like about the minion pulling gru undies its so funny

[@JedHead77]

21:55: *”IT’S SO FLUFFY!”* 🦄🤪

[@lanceferraro3781]

Agnes voicer was the 5 year old directors daughter. She was paid well.

[@johnpasco7985]

No she isn’t. Elsie Fisher is not Pierre Coffin or Chris Renaud’s daughter.

[@sinelo3965]

And just like that you fell in love with Gru, and you'll even love the minions much more. May be that Gru has that name because he ''grew' as a person?

[@shenran9164]

I love agnus. She's adorable

[@millhau5682]

28:58 spaceships drop those pieces of metal to reduce weight and drag. The metal is typically empty rockets, as the rockets used to break through the atmosphere can't actually be turned off once they are fire up, until they run out of fuel becoming dead weight

[@waynejones5635]

Gru is absolutely hilarious. 😅😂🤣 ... and his funny dog. 😅

[@silvia.r]

I would love to see a reaction to the movie "Luck" it's so cute and kinda relatable at some parts. I think you'll love it!

[@turtlesandmoreturtles]

Rockets drop the extra fuel tanks because once they're empty, they are dead weight, so it uses up more fuel to keep them. Might as well drop them.

[@Dimetropteryx]

This movie has beyond doubt the most adorable characters.

[@americanmutt9089]

I liked both Despicable Me's and have just started watching The Minions movies. My favorite characters are Gru, Agnes, and Dave the Minion.

[@blacktronlego]

11:13 They are Minions, what do you expect?

[@FlyingTigress]

In 3D, the roller coaster ride was pretty awesome!

[@arnavmekala4578]

I remember when I watched this movie I said that if there ever was going to be a second movie, it better be about gru getting a girlfriend/wife. Thank god that came true.

[@malarkey2217]

Love that the 'papoy' was a toilet brush! 😅

[@darkdg4106]

Not sure why you were told you needed to see this for the lore, the movie The Minions covers their history and lore, when this movie is just their first appearance and doesn't really have anything to do with their lore.

[@UTU49]

I think it makes sense to watch this movie first, so you know how the Minions were introduced to the world.

[@SpiritxEnigma]

You gotta see Across the Spider-Verse. That franchise, Arcane, & Puss in Boots have done glorious with animation.

[@kenzij]

In my opinion the breakdown is this: 1 - Best story, 2 - Most laughs, 3 - Is there also (I've only seen it once so it may have positives I don't remember, but the too long scene with Gru hanging from a plane or whatever soured it for me.)

[@wjadam024]

you're going to love the sequels

[@juliusw.7637]

"I hope this movie is good, never heard anyone talk about it" POV: you live under a rock

[@sonofkarma5461]

This is an amazing and Iconic movie franchise, Please watch the Rest of the Movies Please🙏

[@badmoose01]

Megamind is a hard film to top but Despicable Me and Megamind are peak 2010's animation

[@JuryRigged]

I love Despicable Me and Megamind. Megamind always carries a caveat that I don't like that Megamind's previous crimes get completely ignored by the end (it's a fantastic, fun movie, but he had dozens of life sentences, his shenanigans probably killed many, no guess as to an amount of property damage, and he should, ultimately, be *responsible* for Tighten's actions). Despicable Me is so much more wholesome. While Gru never has to come to terms with his actions before and during the movie, there's a lot more character development for him, and at least in the larger scale, the world is presented in a much more 'toonish' fashion. Freezing someone in a block of ice isn't a death sentence, for instance.

[@philshorten3221]

Animated always seem to be a great surprise

[@granadosvm]

Looking forward to your reactions to the next Despicable me and Minions movies. I think just like this one, more than the plot, it is the characters and their development that makes the movies enjoyable. Pretty sure you will like them.

[@privateer9181]

“he’s gonna crack his head open”…….OK MOM

[@mrwulfgar2001]

This is a good one and welcome to another series. I understand even I keep checking wondering am I good enough. But keep the expectation just low enough and things will always be better than expected when it comes.

[@unclelink]

"BA NA NAAAAA!" I used empty TP rolls to make Minion themed pencil holders! ♻️ Steve Carrell! "Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World! Classic Gregory Peck! "To Kill A Mockingbird!"

[@bambusbjorn3508]

this movie is so bonkers ... i love it

[@SpiritxEnigma]

I like movies/shows with villain protagonists. Infinity War was one with Thanos getting most screen time & it being about his quest. I hope Doctor Doom gets a “Books of Doom” origin series when he’s introduced in the MCU. Some other ones I’d recommend are: - Joker (2019): One of the better DC films about mental health with questions about which parts are real or in his head. - Barry: A HBO series about a hitman who wants to become an actor & makes conflicting decisions. It’s SO unique. It’s like a dark, action dramedy. I was in tears from laughter several times but it also deals with serious tones. - Breaking Bad: I know you said you couldn’t get into this show because of Walter, but I’ve been having a blast with it. The majority of the characters have flaws but that makes it realistic. There are still some worth rooting for.

[@Gabezilla437]

Mary Cherry: “I can’t think other movies that has the villain as the protagonist?” Venom: “Are you blind, you can’t see me?!”

[@codyclaeys2008]

Was he supposed to the Villan in venom though?

[@MaryCherryOfficial]

He was an anti hero

[@michaelmay4402]

Wouldn't it be "you can't see us?"

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

In the Back to the Future trilogy, I really like the third movie. To me, it's an all around fun time. However, I also feel it wouldn't be what it is, without the foundation of the first film. In the Despicable Me [currently a] trilogy, this is how I feel about number two. It's a great and fun ride, but the first one always holds a special place in my heart.

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

Megamind and Despicable Me came out in the same year, 2010.

[@everlastingpass1on]

Fun fact, both Despicable Me and Megamind came out in 2010. Despicable Me came out in July 2010 and Megamind in November 2010.

[@earlbrown]

The end of the movie with that song you like is a throwback to the movie "Saturday Night Fever''. That actual song was used and they copied the dancing too.

[@kiillabytez]

Minions 2: Rise Of Gru is my favorite, but that's a spin-off. Part 3 was my favorite of the main series though.

[@jamesmeechan6983]

It was a prequel too cause gru was boy in it and it was the first time he met the minions and kept them in his home

[@nathan.brazil780]

35:25 Look at the label on the player. It says "Gru-Ray Disc"

[@f1nsher]

i love the movie, one of my favorite family movies

[@johnluujl]

Yeah, this is the one that started the whole Minion craze, and of course the Minion prequels

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Speaking of Animated, I recommend Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse 👌.

[@NathanielZick]

Man! I’ve still gotta watch this one too lol

[@manuelvarela6698]

I said that too

[@SpiritxEnigma]

I watched it in theaters & LOVED it. I need a rewatch because of my memory. None of the channels I’m subbed to has reacted to it yet unfortunately.

[@manuelvarela6698]

@Linator4 I've seen it too in theaters and they changed some scenes on the digital version which you guys probably know

[@SpiritxEnigma]

@@manuelvarela6698I think I heard something about that. I definitely need to check it out. Spider-Verse, Arcane, & Puss in Boots 2 have done amazing with animation.

[@marcuszaja6589]

Great reaction to a great movie ❤. And look, there's an ambul - Beedo-Beedo-Beedo!
