I was very touched by this movie. A young man too full of himself to care anything about anyone else or anything going on that does not affect him. It shows how an unexpected relationship with a single mother and her witty, mature little girl, changed him for ever! Very well acted by known performers, and a brilliant story that teaches an important lesson for all of us. This is a great family film. We enjoyed it very much.

Good story, good acting. I appreciate the meaning it conveys. Probably not good for very young. I've loaned it to many and enjoy re-watching it myself. I highly recommend this movie.

Lately, for once a month, I have a Christian movie night with some friends and associates; I hope one day it turns into something locally dominant. One of those nights I told people about another movie I liked called Smitty and an associate told me “I think you’d like ‘The Ultimate Gift’ better.” He was surprised that I hadn’t seen that movie yet, and because the trailer looked promising I decided to pick up a copy and watch The Ultimate Gift for myself.
The Ultimate Gift, a movie which was based on the book written by Jim Stovall, concerns a privileged young man named Jason. Jason and much of his relatives recently learn of the death of Howard “red” Stevens, a very-very rich man. Unlike his other relatives, Jason doesn’t really care about Red’s will reading let alone his funeral, until Red’s lawyer approaches him. The lawyer reveals to Jason that Red has a special gift, which Red himself nicknames “The Ultimate Gift”, and in order to receive this and other gifts along the way Jason must go through a court ordered journey. If Jason fails this journey, he doesn’t receive anything… What is it that Jason is supposed to receive? Is it just money like his greedy relatives believe, or is it something more?
The Ultimate Gift certainly does promote some valuable lessons and much of the gifts are indeed worth while for everyone. However, I agree with the sentiment of certain critics I’ve read online recently in that “The Ultimate Gift” should have been “The Gift of Salvation” considering I was told this was a Christian film; and written by a Christian author. I’m disappointed that the main character, though learning some valuable lessons, doesn’t show in the movie he necessarily embraced Jesus Christ as Lord; it’s possible he may have but there’s no concrete evidence he did. Unlike my outrage for Like Dandelion Dust, however, this movie does show Christians in a positive light and does actually give the viewer some sort of inspiration; not as much as I was expecting but some nevertheless. The movie itself is really good in that the acting is great and the story is overall a well written script, but I must dock a few points for the theological aspect which is important for any film which calls itself “Christian”… As Gavin Macleod’s character in the movie Time Changer once said “Satan isn’t opposed to good morals, he’s opposed to Jesus Christ.” Without Jesus in the picture, the ideas though beneficial are a form of legalism…

I think this movie is great for the whole family to watch it's show that even the one family member who you think is at a loss can be turned around. So never give up on anyone.

As far as "The Ultimate Gift", I had seen it on the Hallmark Channel a number of times, but wanted a copy of it for myself. So I ordered it to watch at my leisure.

This is one of my favorite movies and now I don't have to wait for the Christmas season to watch it on TV - especially with the fantastic value. All the DVDs and books I have purchased at this site have been an excellent value! Great choices are also available.

The movie strikes a perfect balance between offering encouragement and hope in unjust life moments while at the same time not playing down harsh outcomes of real-life dramatic events which do shake us to the core and test what we believe is just. Definitely must-see movie!

A wise grandfather, a loving mom, a young girl who believed in the impossible, saw beyond and was filled with great wisdom for her age.

The ULTIMATE GIFT ?? Money? I thought a 'Christian movie' would have a better idea of what is important than this. The world strives for money, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. This movie is all about money, no plan of salvation discussed, Jesus name is mentioned once, vaguely. The main characters pray to a statue in a Church. It's true that the main character's attitude improves but not as the result of his salvation rather it's due to his own efforts and those of his Grandfather. I kept waiting for him to turn to the Lord Jesus and receive the 'ultimate gift ' - salvation, but it was never found in this movie.
