Movie Reviews of The Ultimate Gift
Movie Review: The best movie of 2007
Summary: 5 Stars
I know my title for this small review seems a bit overawing, but please don't be detered by my flamboyance. The Ultimate Gift was indeed the best movie I have seen, not only in 2007 but also in a long while. It is rare to watch a movie that will take you on the emotional stirring this one does. Through the well thoughtout plot and script, viewers will laugh, cry, and leave feeling relief that good things do actually take place in the world through decent people. The story inspired me. Indeed, while sitting in the theater, I distinctly remember over-hearing another watcher wisper to her companions, "This is a really good movie." To this comment I say, "Well, put. Extremely well said." You will not waste your time or money on this excellent movie.Movie Review: A grandfather's gifts
Summary: 5 Stars
James Garner plays a grandfather who has grown weary of his avaricious family and who, at his death, gives an opportunity to his grandson to overcome the temptations of wealth and to become a man of substance. Using videos which he recorded before his death, the grandfather gives his grandson Jason several trials or "gifts" which he must accomplish before he goes onto the next level. Jason, played by Drew Fuller befriends a young girl named Emily (Abigail Breslan) whose life-threatening illness is hidden behind a wise-cracking, tell-it-like-it-is, personality. This movie hits all the right notes and a fine script, coupled with wonderful performances by Garner, Fuller, and Breslan, make this a very memorable movie.Movie Review: A Powerful Movie, that everyone must see!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the book in a bookstore and after reading the subject, went to see it at the theatre. I took my husband back that night to see it too, and then took both of my college aged sons to see it that week. Even they admitted it was really good.
It's one of the best movies I have ever seen......of course the acting is superb, but the story is so true and applicable for everyone's life. No one ever wishes on their death bed that they'd made more money, but rather they wish for other things that they didn't do. Basically the story is about what's of true value in life, and we all could use a lesson in that.
I plan on buying it the day it becomes available, and several copies for friends.
Movie Review: The Ultimate movie
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best "Family" movies I have seen in a long time. I have seen it 8 times now and am not sick of it yet. Is a matter of fact I am still inviting friends over to see it.I have purchsed the movie several times for gifts.
Stellar performance by the All-star cast,Abigail Breslin is cute, with a sharp tongue, but draws humor with it. Drew Fuller, once rich kid now bum executes excellent porformance portraying both.Bill Cobbs is awesome portraying lawyer and friend of Red Stevens(James Garner).I truly would recomend this movie to everyone.
I think there is an important message delivered in this film and I think that everyone should see it. they will talk about it for quite a while.
Movie Review: Parents - GREAT teaching tool for your children
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen the movie and read the book -- both are excellent teaching tools for parents to communicate to their children that life is more than just money and things -- if you find that your children are becoming wrapped up in materialism and pursuing the things of this world, I highly recommend either the movie or the book The Ultimate Gift. You can probably show the movie to children as young as upper elementary age and you can read the book to any age -- the book and the movie will spark dialogue on the true meaning of life, friends, money, family, work, problems, etc...this is one movie you'll want to buy and one book you'll want to have in your home and give as a gift to another friend!
