That was a decent movie. Not much of a "guy movie," I only watched it because my wife borrowed it (honest). The "gift of obedience" becomes a curse because people will try to use your "gift" to accomplish their immoral and unethical ends. The part of the movie where Ella's sister dictates to Ella exactly what she wants her to say on stage gave me a flashback to many UBF meetings in which Sam Lee would interrupt a sogam, "message" or announcements to dictate to the speaker the exact words that Lee wanted the speaker to say.
