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.

This is a great movie it is great for life lessons and to learn what is the best way to live. I f u haven't seen this movie I think you should because you won't be disappointed in any way. At first I was like ugh this is going to be a boring movie but after the first ten minutes i was in to it and i was amazed on how good the actors did and how good they expressed their emotions. I gave it a 10 because on how organized the movie is and how good the actors were. I especially loved how they showed a change in this kid named Jason i won't tel you what change he made that will be for you to see your selves i hope you watch the movie soon and enjoy it!!

The ultimate gift is a subtly movie that plays with the human sensitivity and leaves you wanting more, I did enjoy this movie more than I expected to. After seeing the bad ratings it got, it took me more than 6 years to see this movie but after seeing it I wonder why I waited so long.The movie had something I did enjoy, which is the beautiful scenery it displayed although the plot is quite predictable, as you can guess from the start how some events were going to end, but the scenery and the shots will take you by storm. The cinematography of the movie was nice enough to make you know that a considerable amount of money went into this movie's production.The movie is based on a bestselling novel of the same name written by blind novelist Jim Stovall. The movie was funded by a financial group with the intension of busting customer patronage which actually worked for them.The movie/book is about 12 gifts that a man wants his grandson to acquire, the gifts were work, friends, money, family, learning, problems, laughter, giving, gratitude, a day, loving and dreams. The aim of this, was because Jason (Drew Fuller) was a spoilt brat, who has never worked a day in his life and doesn't know the value of the 12 gifts, so his grandfather after his death decided to take him through a life lesson that he will not forget easily, with the hope that at the end Jason will come to value and understand those gifts.To help him along the way, Jason met a friend named Emily (Abigail Breslin), who helped to achieve his grandfather's goal.Drew Fuller plays the lead Jason and to be honest, the moment I saw him was like "isn't that Chris Halliwell from the television series Charmed" because I have to be honest after Charmed I don't remember seeing Drew anywhere else. Bill Cobbs is getting old but you can see from the movie that old age has nothing to do with talent because he did deliver and the movie gave him a sweet assistant that was just like the mother to the protagonist, since the protagonist mother was busy with her younger lovers.Ultimate Gift can be seen as a cheesy film that plays on your emotions, but it is a nice film one many should watch and enjoy.www.lagsreviews.com
