Movie Reviews of The Ultimate Gift
Movie Review: The most tender and coaching film since "Pay it foward"
Summary: 5 Stars
Labeled as an urban fable, this movie deals about a rebel young man, who apparently has been ignored by his grandfather at the moment to read the testament.
All the members of the family are gathered to read the last will of what once was a wealthy business man and succesful executive.
Jason 's grandfather prepared every speech through a posthumous DVD in which every one of his inheritors die to know what it's going around the piece of cake they deserved.
Finally, when this rebel without cause and immature grandson will receive, will be a series of challenges he will have to surpass to earn the ultimate gift.
On the way through, he will receive a lesson of life that will lead him to a neccesary leap to experience, facing and dealing with the crude reality of life, and so, he will follow his bliss.
Tender, touching and amusing movie that surely will seduce you.
Movie Review: Fantastic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the overly sentimental, hard hitting message, this movie is a must-see for the whole family. The performances were just OK, but the message in this film is something that will reverberate throughout your life.
It very clearly illuminates the vapid and selfish values that society perpetrates on our young and affluent. It is a story of self awareness, profound loss, conscience and salvation.
At the end of the film, my 13 year old son said to me: "thank you Mom for making me watch this movie. It has very special lessons for life."
My husband wanted more, so we also watched the special addons in the DVD and then went to amazon and ordered one copy for each of our family members.
After receiving our gift of "The Ultimate Gift", my brother went out and bought a copy for each member of his youth group.
I would say this film has a far reaching effect and appeal!
Movie Review: The Ultimate Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
What an amazing film! I am always looking for films that young people and adolescents can relate to and keep their attention. This movie does just that.
I teach grades 10-12 using health education as a foundation. I recently had my students view this film and had remarkable reactions. The most profound was having about 1/3 the class passing the kleenex box around, males and females. It was comforting for me to see these students felt comfortable sharing their emotions in a public enviornment among their peers and their instructor. It gave me a little peak inside their hearts.
The assignment I gave them was to make a list of the gifts given and what their personal feelings were regarding each gift. Would they have done things differently.
If you want to show a film with a powerful message about life and living and displays all variances of emotions, this is the movie to show.
Movie Review: A Must See Movie For Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
The Ultimate Gift is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I saw the movie in the theatre and it changed my way of thinking. This is an EXCELLENT movie for the entire family to see. I plan to host viewing parties, so I can show the movie and discuss it afterwards. There are several Christian worldview values throughout the movie. I would encourage people to host viewing parties, so others can see the movie and see the beauty of this masterpiece.
I read The Ultimate Gift book by Jim Stovall and after reading the book, I implemented the gifts in my life. Here is the link: The Ultimate Gift

Movie Review: Exceedingly, pleasantly surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
December 2009. Snowed in - BLIZZARD!!! Thought I'd be stuck watching a sappy, sentimental flick with no plot, lots of tears, and some smiles. Boy, was I surprised. This is one excellent movie! The soundtrack is extremely good, well written and performed (including Sarah Groves). The plot was rich (no pun intended). Will watch this again, and heartily endorse it to friends and family. OK for kids to watch, so long as they are familiar with death (it happens). Miss Breslin is of course her usual amazing actress self. James Garner is exactly what you would expect - an excellent actor giving another great performance. The lead Drew Fuller, is a relative newcomer, and improves as you keep watching. Miss America 1955 (Lee Meriweather) gives a solid performance as does Mr. Garner's assistant - Bill Cobbs(can't wait top see him in something else). Go for it!
