My subject says it all. Although the acting is not oscar worthy because main actors are not Hollywood blockbuster stars, it was good enough for carrying out a great performance with a tremendous message. This is one of those movies where... Full review

I didn't get it, I didn't enjoy the movie at all. Abigail Breslin is adorable but in here she was a bad actress or mediocre. I couldn't stand it at all. It was boring and pointless to me.... Full review

This very powerful film is funny, heartbreaking, and intensely thought-provoking. I gave it 3 stars because of the powerful story. I did read the book before seeing the movie and this is one I felt the book was much better than the movie. ... Full Review

Fox, under it's FoxFaith banner, has produced an intelligent, well-acted film that delivers a powerful message without preaching. Based on the best selling book by Jim Stovall, "The Ultimate Gift" pulls a rare feat by one-upping its source material. ... Full Review

It's a stupid film that insults your intelligence and won't stand up to the scrutiny of a five-year old. Sadly, THE ULTIMATE GIFT isn't one of them. Red Stevens (James Garner) dies and the family that hates him gathers for the reading of the will. ... Full Review

But the film belongs to Drew Fuller and I just wish that more people had seen this film theatrically to see such a terrific actor in the making. There are other excellent performances throughout the film from Brian Dennehy, the still gorgeous Lee Meriwether and the crusty but lovable Bill Cobbs. ... Full Review

We're dealing with an overly lazy movie....you make an inspirational movie about healing and growth....It would be flat out stupid....The anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) transfer nicely captures the rich textures of the film's surprisingly solid cinematography.....Final Thoughts Sappy and shallow and rotten all the way to the core, "The Ultimate Gift" fakes and fudges its way through prefab spiritual genericness.... ...
