The Ultimate Gift (2006) 6/10

Starring : Drew Fuller, Abigail Breslin, Brian Dennehy, James Garner
Director : Michael O Sajbel
Running Time : 118 mins

When his wealthy grandfather Howard (Garner) dies, Jason Stevens (Fuller) expects to receive a hefty inheritance from him, but what he gets instead is a challenge to perform a number of tasks before he sees any of the money. His friends slowly begin to abandon him, and he finds himself having to begrudgingly perform the challenges on his own, but when he meets a young girl named Emily (Breslin) who is dying from Leukaemia named he soon changes his outlook on life.

This movie could have been so much better if Drew Fuller had have been replaced with another actor. He couldn’t act back when he was in Charmed and he can’t act in this. Breslin is her usual underrated self as the poorly girl who wins Fuller’s heart, but despite it’s Christmassy sounding title this has nothing to do with the winter season. If you like weepy movies you might enjoy this, otherwise it’s just not that good.
