Movie Reviews of The Ultimate Gift
Movie Review: A SIMPLE Yet POWERFUL Movie - Check it out
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been given this gentle little book as a gift but didn't get around to reading it. I saw the movie when it came out in the theater and was amazed. How could a clean, wholesome story be so powerful? It resonated in my heart because I knew it spoke of universal truths. It affected me both emotionally and spiritually. I have since read the book. It was a fast read - maybe because I couldn't put it down. The book has more "lessons" than was portrayed in the movie. All that aside, the movie is SIMPLE and POWERFUL. The lessons that Red Stevens left for his great nephew Jason to accomplish was truly the ULTIMATE GIFT. Jason "found" himself and his humanity during those tests. I would recommend it to anyone - children and adults. I plan on buying this movie so I can watch it again and again. It is THAT KIND of movie.Movie Review: AMAZING-- A MUST SEE FILM
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. I loved every moment of it. Jason Stevens, played by Drew fuller, goes to the reading of his grandfather's will expecting to get nothing but what he finds is that his grandfather has an "ultimate" gift for him. He has to do a bunch of different tasks to recieve his inheritance. He decides to do as his grandfather wished and goes through each and every task to finally achieve his ultimate gift. This is a warm, heart felt movie that anyone can fall inlove with. You begin to identify with Jason Stevens even though he is a self-centered rich boy as he goes on his journey to find the ultimate gift. This movie is by far a definite must see film. Don't waste anymore time contemplating whether or not this movie will be worth the time because it is and it will be.Movie Review: I have a gift for you........
Summary: 5 Stars
It's difficult to think anyone would have a problem with this film. "The Ultimate Gift" presents the viewer with a story of a man's journey of not only self-discovery, but the realization that until you touch others, you cannot truly be known. Wealth is not an end, only a means, and without this understanding, can you be truly wealthy? This film answers that question, and more.
Drew Fuller does an exceptional job, and he conveys his character's slow awakening very deftly. Abigail Breslin, as Emily is likewise fantastic. Her performance is exceptional, for a child so young.
This film, though Christian, does not beat you down with religious allegory. On the contrary, it inspires. After all, isn't that what makes us all human? A family, regardless of race, creed, or color?
Movie Review: Excellent family film
Summary: 5 Stars
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 and non-monetary rewards. My pre-teen and teenager love it and even got emotional (yeah, teenagers have a heart!). I don't recall my children getting emotional over a movie. They just don't make movies like this. And, it has an awesome cast. This is a definite keeper!Movie Review: The Ultimate Gift is exactly that.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Ultimate Gift is exactly that. The movie is based on the wonderfully written novel of the same name that has survived the metamorphous of a film transition. I am no stranger to this treasure and have written a review of this book on Amazon. I strongly suggest both the film and the book in the order that's best for you. For those who don't read many books, you'll find this one well worth the wait. Like the book, I am very much waiting for the DVD release so that I may share its rich gifts with the ones I love. Like "A Christmas Carol" The Ultimate Gift is about redemption; the transformation from selfishness to selflessness. It is this reviewer's belief that generosity is the root of all happiness. And joy is the effervescence of the true Christian.
