THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE ULTIMATE GIFT (2006)

 

After the funeral of Billionaire Oil Tycoon Howard 'Red' Stevens (James Garner) his dysfunctional family all gather at the office of his lawyer, partner and friend Mr. Theophilus Hamilton (Bill Cobbs) and his associate Miss Hastings (Lee Meriwether) to see what was in the will for them.

One by one they came and went from the room with Red’s stinging words still ringing in their ears.

Last but by no means least was Grandson Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) who had spent most of his adult life as a Trust Fund brat until he was cut off from the family money and had been living off petty crime and begging. 

Jason was singled out for special treatment as Red had every faith that he could redeem himself, so he was assigned twelve apparently simple tasks labelled “gifts” meant to challenge him and set him on a journey of discovery.

But it was meeting Alexia (Ali Hillis) and her terminally ill daughter Emily (Abigail Breslin) that changed his perspective of life and money, and becomes a better man than even his Grandfather expected and received the “Ultimate Gift”
