Perhaps the only thing more astounding than Charlize Theron's transformative performance in Monster was the comment from an idiot sitting behind us to the effect of, "Well, THAT was an uplifter!"

Maybe he's related to the Bad Santa pepperpot.

What is it with people who know nothing about the movies they go to see? I mean, the movie is called MONSTER. Maybe that should have been a HUGE HONKING CLUE that this wasn't gonna be an uplifter, you nimrod.
