The Ultimate Gift

What is life? Is money equal to Happiness? Does it mean that if you have money you will be happy? What guarantees happiness?

When his wealthy grandfather passes away, Jason Stevens thinks that he will get big inheritance. Big inheritance equals big money. Instead all he gets is a video from his grandfather asking him to complete twelve tasks. If he completes them, he will get the inheritance. These twelve tasks - or 'gifts' - are designed to challenge Jason in improbably ways, sending him on a journey of self-discovery. The task include finding a true friend, working in the field etc etc.. He is then forced to discover what is the most important thing in life. Money or Happiness!

This is what the movie 'The Ultimate Gift' is all about.




The Ultimate Gift" is a movie starring Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin (she's so cute!) , James Garner, Ali Hillis, Drew Fuller and Brian Dennehy. It will be released March 9.

It is based on the book, also named 'The Ultimate Gift' that has been an underground hit around the world and sold 4 million copies. The movie, and the book is based on the message: "The only way you can truly get more out of life for yourself is to give part of yourself away.”



And because of its profound meaning of the show, more than 300 pre-screaning have already resulted in over $ 5 million in donations to charity. Even schools are incorporating the message into their curriculums. It has even sparked a unique teen philanthropy initiative called "Show of Hands".

Watch the trailer and see how interesting the movie is.

Little Miss Sunshine” star Abigail Breslin’s, is wonderful portraying this innocent girl in 'The Ultimate Gift. She's so cute and adorable you can't help falling in love with her. Watch this short clip on her in 'The Ultimate Gift'.




I love movies that have meanings. Movies like Click, Blood Diamond shows the world that movies are not just for entertainment purposes. They have a deeper role than that.

Oooh.. I can't wait for the movie to come into Malaysia's theaters.
