The Ultimate Gift (2007)

I watched this movie with my 80 year old mother who LOVED it... and is far less critical than I... but I have ONE QUESTION as I write this.. Emily was at Reds FUNERAL.. why???? It was the opening scene.. inhanced by a PINK UMBRELLA in a sea of black ones.. cmon.. help me out here.

Ridiculous plot + horrendous acting equals an un-watchable movie.

Not the best Christian film, but definitely not the worst. The story was nice to an extent, Jason became a better man at the end of the movie. However, I hated the fact that he got $2billion at the end, what an awful message. The whole idea of money within the movie was so awful, rich people were ridiculously over the top. The worst bit of the movie was definitely the whole part in Ecuador - it was pointless, added absolutely nothing to the plot and should not have been in the movie. There was little chemistry between the couple and although I liked Emily, her dialogue was insufferable and so badly writtenFor all the complaints, this movie was OK and could have been a lot worse. I wouldn't watch it again or rave about it, but it was nice enough and not insufferable.

There are lots of surprises for the Stevens' family and board of trustees during that epic meeting where the will is read! After the meeting finishes, the Jason Stevens character privately learns that his deceased grandfather Howard "Red" Stevens willed "The "Ultimate Gift" to him! Jason has no idea what "The Ultimate Gift" could be! Jason has to primarily accept and pass each (12) gifts or lessons within a year and they are outlined in personal speeches to Jason on dvds that his grandfather made before he died. Each (12) gifts or lessons comes with its specific instructions and Mr. Hamilton's critiques so Jason has to pass each gift or lesson before he is advanced to the next one until he reaches the "The Ultimate Gift". As Jason's life begins to embark on an uncharted journey, he eventually sees how money plays an important role in life. During this time, he meets up with a very pretty charismatic young girl named Emily whose bright smile masks a terrible secret and her doting mom named Alexia. As Jason gradually emerges from a cocoon of wealth and privilege, he begins to see his hated grandfather Howard "Red" Stevens from a different perspective and learns the truth behind his altruistic, loyal, and hardworking father's mysterious death in a South America jungle.Drew Fuller, who played the Jason Stevens character, was actually raised in a wealthy Orange County town located in California so he convincingly exudes the true spirit of a wealthy and privileged twenty-something single man. The characters of his mother and his girlfriend named Caitlin are also equally convincing as "uppercrust divas"! There are elements of comedy, intrigue, suspense, hope, love, and danger for everyone in the family to enjoy.
