Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

annie-skopek Not the best Christian film, but definitely not the worst. The story was nice to an extent, Jason became a better man at the end of the movie. However, I hated the fact that he got $2billion at the end, what an awful message. The whole idea of money within the movie was so awful, rich people were ridiculously over the top. The worst bit of the movie was definitely the whole part in Ecuador - it was pointless, added absolutely nothing to the plot and should not have been in the movie. There was little chemistry between the couple and although I liked Emily, her dialogue was insufferable and so badly writtenFor all the complaints, this movie was OK and could have been a lot worse. I wouldn't watch it again or rave about it, but it was nice enough and not insufferable.

kjdunn-21457 Spoiler alert! America today is a world where people want bigger, better, and more. Always more. Although this is not true for everyone, this country is known for its high consumerism and stereotyped for being rude and greedy. Many rich people in the city splurge their wealth on the daily but seem to be the most unhappy. Jason Stevens in The Ultimate Gift, directed by Michael O. Sabjel, lived this lifestyle. All his life, he only reviewed things and never gave. Having no concerns for anyone around him, he was selfish and egotistical and did nothing productive in life. When his grandfather, the one supplying him with all his money, pasts away, and leaves him no inheritance but a set of tasks to do in order to get a gift in the end, he finds himself lost. This movie goes on to reveal that somebody may not have a purpose in life, but it can be found by giving to others. This is why giving gifts, not always tangible or perceptible can hold so much value.Jason starts from the bottom as he is evicted from his apartment, his car is towed, and his credit card is all of a sudden declined everywhere. This is all going in accordance to his grandfathers wishes as part of his test. Jason finds himself working odd jobs, spending a month as a farm-hand, befriending a woman and a sick daughter, traveling to Ecuador to help a village, and escaping hostile militants, and lastly, inheriting $100 million. All these assignments revolve around giving some sort of gift while learning the importance of them. By hard work and struggling to make money on the streets, Jason learned the gift of labor. When Jason met Alexia and her daughter, Rose, he gained the gift of friendship. On his mission trip, he was presented with the gift of problems and bravery. He learned about the gift of responsibility by inheriting the large amount of money. Through all these events, he gained the most important gift, the gift of love. Jason's old life had no purpose, but from gaining these new gifts, he helped others and learned to care.Jason helped Rose live her life and fulfill her dreams before she died from leukemia. By giving her and her mother time, money and help, he discovered what he wanted to do. With the money he later received, he built a foundation for people with cancer and their families to get help. In the end, Jason gave so much, and in return, did receive the ultimate gift.

Jason has no idea what "The Ultimate Gift" could be! Jason has to primarily accept and pass each (12) gifts or lessons within a year and they are outlined in personal speeches to Jason on dvds that his grandfather made before he died. Each (12) gifts or lessons comes with its specific instructions and Mr. Hamilton's critiques so Jason has to pass each gift or lesson before he is advanced to the next one until he reaches the "The Ultimate Gift".

The characters of his mother and his girlfriend named Caitlin are also equally convincing as "uppercrust divas"! There are elements of comedy, intrigue, suspense, hope, love, and danger for everyone in the family to enjoy.

EveIsBored The Ultimate Gift, a drama directed by Michael O. Sajbel and released in 2006, tells the story of a thoroughly spoiled and rebellious man Jason, whose dying grandfather decides to put him through a series of obstacles, leading to what he calls 'the ultimate gift'. However, Jason soon realizes that the old man is trying to teach him not only how to be a successful businessman, but also a good person. The film has a rather beautiful idea: a man tries hard to get his grandfather's money yet at the end realizes that money isn't what matters in life. However, 'The Ultimate Gift' completely fails to execute this idea. It has all too many plot twists (a girl dying from leukemia, Jason unexpectedly falling in love with the girl's mother, etc.) that seem as if they belong to a soap opera, not a family film. It also tries to show us too many events – the film focuses on Jason being kidnapped by a gang in the forest, trying to find the place where his father died, stalking his ex-girlfriend and such – whereas it completely neglects character development. It is due to this that many of the characters' decisions seem hard to believe or simply absurd. Also, the film might seem a little hypocritical as it spends a lot of time attempting to prove that money only does good when given away to the poor (otherwise it just corrupts a person), yet at the end Jason still ends up gaining billions of dollars from his grandfather and not being unhappy with it. Still, it could be said that the film ought to be praised for its positiveness. It tries to preach the ideas of love and acceptance and has the happy ending that seems mandatory for all American dramas – Jason falls in love with the girl's mother and ends up owning a company that is worth billions of dollars. Maybe someone who could relate to the characters in the film would find the movie to be a more touching experience. I, on the other hand, found this film's plot to be too contrived and irksome. The acting was also mediocre at best (particularly Drew Fuller's, who is quite probably the blandest male lead I've ever seen). My advice would be to skip this flick if you want to see something interesting and thought-provoking. However, if you enjoy all these sugar-sweet generic dramas, you might enjoy it.
