The Ultimate Gift is an American
film based on the best selling novel by Jim Stovallreleased on March 9, 2007 in
816 theaters in the USA .
The film’s DVD sales were quite high in relation to its theatrical receipts and
it continues to be a success in DVD sales and on television. When his rich
granddad, Howard "Red" Stevens (portrayed by James Garner) died,
Jason (Drew Fuller) thought he probably wasn't going to inherit a piece of the
old man's multi-billion dollar estate. He strongly resents his grandfather
because his father had died while working for him. There was an inheritance, in
fact; but it came with a condition. Jason must complete 12 separate assignments
within a year in order to get it. Each assignment is centered around a
"gift". Gifts of work, money, friends and learning are among the
dozen that Jason must perform before he is eligible for the mysterious
"Ultimate Gift" his grandfather's will has for him. Throughout his
trials and tribulations, the family attorney, Mr. Hamilton (Bill Cobbs), and
his secretary Miss Hastings (Lee Meriwether) attempt to guide Jason along the
path his grandfather wishes him to travel. But this is a hard task for the
guides, because Jason is a spoiled under-achiever who never had to genuinely
work. For instance, to carry out the first task he has to fly to Texas, and
naturally assumes he has a first-class seat, and is annoyed when he discovers
he has a coach class seat, complaining to the steward "Don't you know who
I am?" On his return after completing the first task in Texas, everything
he values is suddenly taken away from him - luxury apartment, his restored
muscle car (a 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T), and all his money - and he is left
homeless. His trendy girlfriend, Caitlin (Mircea Monroe), ditches him when his
credit card is rejected at a fancy restaurant, and she is mortified when he
asks her if she could pay the bill. After his mother (Donna Cherry) tells her
son she cannot help him as part of the agreement, he miserably wanders the
city; for the first time truly alone. It is while sleeping in a park
that he encounters a woman, Alexia (Ali Hillis), and her outspoken daughter
Emily (Abigail Breslin). Jason befriends the two, but then tells them that he
needs them to come to the attorney's office and confirm themselves as his
"true friends" in order to pass the "gift of friends"
assignment. But afterward, Jason walks away and ignores Emily's request to see
him again, convincing Alexia and Emily that Jason is too self-centered to be a
real friend. However, soon afterward Jason accidentally discovers that Emily is
suffering from leukemia, and sees this family as a chance to develop a strong
bond with someone. Indeed, the emergence of his "true" self is the
key theme of the film.
From that point onwards he tries
as best he can to help Emily have a great life while it lasts. Emily also
engineers and encourages a romance between Jason and her mother. After Jason
has worked through the twelve gifts in twelve months, he finally comes to see
his grandfather as more than a dead billionaire who he believes disliked him.
One of his tasks requires him to travel to Ecuador and study in a library his
grandfather built to help the people there. This also forces him reluctantly to
confront his resentment over the death of his father there, but he ends up
making a dangerous trip into the mountains to see where it happened. Upon
completing his twelve tasks, and enduring this and other "harsh
conditions," Jason is given a sum of $100,000,000 to do with whatever he
pleases, and all of his property is returned to him. His former girlfriend,
knowing that he has regained his wealth, makes an attempt to win him back with
the offer of sex, but he disgustedly walks out on her.
With his inheritance, Jason chooses
to build a hospital, called Emily's Home (named after Emily), for patients with
deadly diseases and their families, which also includes a church (knowing that
Emily was often in the hospital chapel). But then before the building begins,
Emily dies. Alexia and Jason pray for her at the chapel. After the
groundbreaking for Emily's Home, he is brought back to the law firm for one
more meeting. He had exceeded the expectations of his dead grandfather, and
receives one final "gift" of over $2,000,000,000, rewarding Jason not
only for his completing the tasks, but for using the $100 million to help
others. That night, Jason is seen sitting on a bench in the park, when Alexia
joins him. He thanks her for the help that she and her daughter gave him. Then
they kiss as a butterfly, representing Emily, is shown flying around them.
Very nice idea for men's gifts. It always seems hard to find the perfect gift for the men because we don't have much choice for boys. Thanks for your efforts.
