"The Ultimate Gift" is a very touching movie based on Jim Stovall's book. It can definitely be a tear jerker, so don't watch this film without tissues handy. The movie starts off amusing in the wake of a death of a very wealthy man who decides not to leave his estate to any of his relatives, who have grown up spoiled and greedy. An estranged grandson finds out that his inheritance is a series of gifts, but no one will tell them what they are. When his first gift ends up being a month of hard work on a ranch he is ready to call it quits. Along the journey, he meets a very unique girl played by Abigail Breslin. She did a terrific job with this character and stole all the scenes she was in. The movie keeps you guessing about the series of gifts and also warms your heart about the friendships developed by Jason as he continues his journey. I would strongly recommend this film to anyone. It gets 4 out of 5 stars.
