- Synopsis
- When his wealthy grandfather dies, trust fund baby Jason Stevens anticipates a big inheritance. Instead, his grandfather has devised a crash course on life with twelve tasks – or “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.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Although cynics likely will reject 'The Ultimate Gift' as warmed-over Capra-corn (...) [it] may be prized by those with a taste for inspirational uplift"
-
"Director Michael O. Sajbel too often succumbs to movie-of-the-week sentimentality and starchy pacing. Still, Breslin's captivating performance reminds you why she was recently nominated for an Oscar."
-
"Things may work out predictably, but 'The Ultimate Gift' does not yank on the heartstrings so much as pluck them gently."
-
"The film constantly teeters on the fulcrum of its own treacly good intentions and simplistic parable-like storytelling, and the extent that it stays balanced is largely thanks to its agile cast."
-
"A television-ready effort that would work perfectly for Hallmark."
-
"Kind of like a feel-good 'Saw' for churchgoers, minus the sadistic games of death."
