When this film was sent to me to view it was the first time I had ever heard of it. As I do with all films sent, I watched it and what I saw is a film of inspirational lessons. No they were not subtle yet they were worth watching. In this movie we start with a trust fund baby Jason who has spent his whole life as one big party. And upon the death of his grandfather he is given the opportunity to receive a series of gifts if he is willing to follow his late grandfathers instructions. His first choice is to accept these series of gifts or to walk away and forfeit his inheritance.
We watch Jason grow from a shallow man to the man of worth he could be. The cast of characters and how they were written is necessary to see the lessons and growth in such a short period that is afforded to us by a movie. This would be a great feature for the whole family. There is no question that this is a message film and a good one; a story of friendship, trust, values, respect, charity, loyalty and respect among others. Everyone who watches this movie will walk away learning something and I think it will be unique to the viewer.
Life itself is a gift that we have all been graced with. And we should each learn what each of our gifts are and then proceed to share what we are able too with others. It does remind you the true adage that money does not buy you happiness and that it is better to give than receive. I enjoyed watching this movie and look forward to reading the book.
