It's amazing just how far the fruit can fall from the tree : The Ultimate Gift

The Ultimate Gift is a 2006 American drama film directed by Michael O. Sajbel from a screenplay written by Cheryl McKay, which is based on the best selling novel by Jim Stovall, who cameos in the film. It stars Drew Fuller, Bill Cobbs, Abigail Breslin, Brian Dennehy, and James Garner, and was released on March 9, 2007 in the United States and Canada.

Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) lives a life of wealth and privilege. When his grandfather (James Garner) dies, Jason expects to receive a hefty inheritance. Instead, however, Jason must set out on a journey of self-discovery to earn the true gift his grandfather meant for him to have. Along the way, Jason befriends a dying girl (Abigail Breslin) and her mother (Ali Hillis) and learns what is really important in life.

Even though like a regular moral message movies, this one feel clunky and self serving to some extent but it manage to choose the right punch. The movie is clean without any regular adult rated comments or visuals . The innocent acting of the child lead is also engaging. The director has done a good work in presenting the audience with message of self giving not only without boring them , but also with an entertainment value.
