Bring a hankerchief.

This movie starts out slow and turns into a classic tearjerker. Billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) dies. He leaves his fractious family bits and pieces of his empire. But his grandson Jason (Drew Fuller) is singled out for special attentions.

A couple of major relationships didn't play as fully believable, but didn't detour me from the emotional depth of the film. Those who are fans of movies like The Notebook and A Walk to Remember are likely to find this a satisfying movie.

Often funny, sad, mysterious, and uplifting in different measures, the film pulls out a unique bag of tricks. Sort of like the `Willy Wonka' of spiritual cinema, `The Ultimate Gift' is more than a "Hallmark" Christian experience. It all begins after the death of oil tycoon, Red Stevens (James Garner) who has left videotapes … more
