Credits

Release Date: Mar 09, 2007; Rated: PG; Length: 114 Minutes; Genre: Drama; With: Abigail Breslin

A billionaire geezer (James Garner) dies, leaving behind video messages introducing 12 ''gifts'' — i.e., tests — meant to teach his brat grandson (Drew Fuller) how to value life. So The Ultimate Gift is kind of like a feel-good Saw for churchgoers, minus the sadistic games of death. Not that overtly religious, just shameless, the movie picks up when our hero befriends Abigail Breslin as a cutie with leukemia. Then it nose-dives when he hits South America, where he is held hostage by banditos. Is that another test or just poor travel planning?
