The Ultimate Gift

Based on Jim Stovall's book of the same name this movie is a classic moralistic work. If you are anything like the main character here you will NOT like this movie. For the rest of us, this piece can be quite moving and educational.

Drew Fuller does a very nice job here portraying the evolution of fairly nasty character. James Garner and Bill Cobbs are his educators and benefactors. Abigail Breslin and Ali Hillis are the recipients of the lessons learned. All-in-all the cast is worthy of the Christmas Eve showing on the Hallmark channel. Enough said?

There are plenty of stereotypes to enjoy, and more than enough tear-jerking scenes. But, that is the point. This story plays on our emotions and our sentiments to teach us a lesson.

Watch this movie with someone who will not mind if you cry a bit during the show.
