The Ultimate Gift is a tale of one man's tumultuous journey toward personal growth and fulfillment. Surrounded in life, and death, by avaricious family members fueled by a sense of entitlement, billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) wants to bequeath at least one member of his extended family "the ultimate gift": something he perceives as immensely more valuable than material wealth. Red's arrogant grandson Jason (Drew Fuller) holds a deep-seated hatred for his newly-deceased grandfather, so he's surprised to learn from his grandfather's friend and lawyer Mr. Hamilton (Bill Cobbs) and assistant Miss Hastings (Lee Meriwether) that he's been mentioned in his late grandfather's will. Far from a straightforward gift of cash, land, or stock, Red's bequest comes in the form of a series of mysterious recorded instructions, the first of which requires Jason to hop on a plane for Texas the very next morning without a hint of the trip's purpose or the nature of the gift that awaits him. Dropped into a life of hard physical labor on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, Jason's bad-tempered fury eventually turns to resignation and he finds himself engaged in, and even taking pride in, the first real manual labor he's ever done in his life. Unbeknownst to him, his journey toward claiming the ultimate gift has only just begun. When he returns from Texas, Jason finds his home cleared out, his car confiscated, and instructions to produce one true friend. While Jason is reduced to sleeping in the park, a young child name Emily (Abigail Breslin) and her mother Alexia (Ali Hillis) make his acquaintance and lead him to re-examine his personal prejudices and perceptions of what's truly important in life. Jason's journey of self-discovery continues throughout a series of other trying experiences and, in the end, Grandpa Red's "ultimate gift" of life lessons profoundly and permanently improves the quality of Jason's life. What's more, Jason's new perspective of his place in society has a very positive affect on the larger community. This very powerful film is funny, heartbreaking, and intensely thought-provoking. --Tami Horiuchi

If you have children or grandchildren; or if you plan to have them, you have to see this movie. Every teenager in the US must see it. Let's get back to what's important in life. It's a 100% family movie.

No matter to whom I suggest this movie the feedback is always the same, "what a great movie". A perfect family movie about those things in life which are most valuable.

I debated giving this movie 3 stars instead of 4, because I would grade it a 3.5, but since it is a 'redemptive' story I lean towards 4.
I thought the overall production quality just doesn't deserve anything higher.
The following contains some spoiler content...
I felt an underlying sense throughout that 'grandpa' had set things up so that Jason would succeed if he simply persevered, which for me lessened any sense that he would fail by anything other than his ... Read More

LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Old fashion values at it's best. There is nothing like getting back to basics to put your life in perspective. Our family watched this and we had little discussions on values, morals, character, etc during the movie. I could watch this over and over and see different ideas that I did not catch the first time. This is an excellent gift for lost 18-25 year old "kids" too, who have lost their way. Make them watch it with you and create a plan of positive change, a path of giving ... Read More
