THE ULTIMATE GIFT NOW AVAILABLE

THE ULTIMATE GIFT NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM IMDB

Jason thought his inheritance was going to be the gift of money and lots of it. Was he ever in for a big surprise. Based on the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?" Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his Grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulation of which would change him forever. Written by Sajbel, Michael O.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM DVDTALK

One expects going into a Fox Faith release to be inundated with a heightened sense of melodrama. After all, how better to present messages of hope and love than to mix it with tears and broad depictions of failure and success? "The Ultimate Gift" should be approached with an eye toward expecting the obvious. Only then do the life lessons have a fighting chance to sink in.

Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller, "Charmed") is a lazy trust fund brat with little sense of purpose to his life. When his tycoon grandfather Red (James Garner) passes away, his lecherous family claws away at the fortune, but Red saves his greatest gift for Jason. Through his attorney (Bill Cobbs), Red arranges a series of challenges for Jason, sending him around the globe in an effort to get the young man to better appreciate people and give to the world around him.

"Ultimate Gift" is adapted from the best-selling novel by Jim Stovall, whose story of personal inventory was intended to instill selflessness in people. In movie form, "Gift" won't have that type of reach, but it's not for lack of trying. It's a commendable production that sets lofty goals for itself, yet the film doesn't always have the tools to accomplish everything it sets out to.

Think of "Gift" as "Brewster's Millions," but without the comedy and with more focus paid to issues of the soul. In trying to cinematically cover this idea of the "12 Gifts" that help people connect, writer Cheryl McKay overworks the plot to fold all the messages into a single fluffy feature film. The story of Jason facing his empty existence for the first time is a persuasive one, and is executed well by director Michael O. Sajbel ("One Night with the King"), but there's inconsistency in the storytelling that constipates the overall objective of the piece.
