I just heard about this new movie that will have a limited release in the theaters. “The Ultimate Gift” is based on the book by the same name authored by Jim Stovall. The story is about a man, Jason Stevens, who is expecting that his wealthy grandfather will leave him a large fortune in his will. When his grandfather dies, Jason is astonished to find that instead of the money he was expecting, his grandfather has devised 12 tasks for him to complete – a crash course in life and giving. Jason eventually must decide what is most important – money or happiness. The grandfather is played by one of my all time favorite actors – James Garner. Also starring in the film is Abigail Breslin, Drew Fuller, Brian Dennehy, Ali Hills and Bill Cobbs.
This is the official site of the movie "The Ultimate Gift" and the grass-roots movement its starting to help charities and give to others. This has inspired a teen charity called Show Of Hands and a Weekend of Giving promotion. On March 9th, 10th and 11th, $1.00 of every ticket purchased will be donated to the charity of your choice. You can sign up and get information about how you can participate in the Weekend of Giving.
It is great to see such a family friendly film that teaches a good message. I am looking forward to taking my kids to see the movie and I also want to read the book!
