The Ultimate Gift -

Click to view larger image

When his wealthy grandfather dies, trust fund baby Jason Stevens anticipates a big inheritance.  Instead, his grandfather has devised a crash course on life:  twelve gifts designed to challenge Jason in improbable ways, sending him on a journey of self-discovery and forcing him to determine what is most important in life:  money or happiness.


Jason thought his inheritance was the gift of money and lots of it . . . but Jason thought wrong. He had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard “Red” Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole “reading of the will” thing would be another simple cash transaction. He figured that his Grandfather’s money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but . . .  simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls “gifts”, each challenging Jason in improbable ways, the accumulation of which would change him forever.

Great film for the family! With a little advertising and positive press, this could have done much better at the boxoffice. Very enjoyable film and an excellent cast. One you'll watch over and over.

My 4 year old watched the entire film and asked questions throughout. The film has a great message and hits close to home for me since I lost a 9 year old to cancer. All in all, my entire family thoroughly enjoyed the film. A feel-good movie!
