I just finished watching The Ultimate Gift  a fantastic movie and I wanted to share it with you.

 If you haven't already seen this movie it is about a young man that is a "trust fund baby" that has always enjoyed life's gifts "as long as they are bankable."  When his wealthy grandfather passes away, this young man gets an unusual inheritance..."twelve tasks'  or "gifts"  to help him grow as a man. 

If you know me, I am not one to watch movies twice.  This one I watched first with my husband and then with my 1 and 1/2 (ones a tween) teenager daughters.  You know them...these challenging little monsters..I mean angels...that know everything and expect everything NOW.  Oh, you have met them!!  Well, I thought this movie would be appropriate...and I was right.  We all loved it and I think (and hope) learned something from it.

So, grab some tissues, cuddle with the ones you love and enjoy this movie over the weekend.  It is my gift to you. :)

Janice, Oh Lord!  I'm already a crier!  I will need 2 boxes of tissues!

I love watching movies that have such an impact that you want to tell the world to see it. After I watched Gladiator I went to work and told everyone about the movie. They laughed at me and said "Yeah, we know, it won an oscar like four years ago!"

I need to get out more...sigh!

Marci - Yes my friend, you may need two boxes.  But it's a good cry! :)

Cari - I also loved Gladiator and I hate any kind of violent movie.  I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did.

Janice ~ Thanks for the heads up on this movie.  Just watching the trailer I could feel myself tearing up!  It looks very good. 

Cari ~ I know what you mean, I think "Pay it Forward" was one of those movies for me.

Janice, I will make that my next rental.  I'm always standing in Blockbuster for an hour like I'm making a life or death decision, it's nice to know I'll get home fast with something good to watch!

JANICE:  Thanks for the tip.  I saw that you mentioned Pay It Forward also.  That is one of my favorite movies, so I'm sure that this one will be great also.

Janice - You're a giver and that's probably the main reason you've moved to the top position in Murrieta on AR. Congratulations!!! (P.S. I'll be breathing down your neck!) ;-)

Kathy- You welcome!  I loved Pay it Forward also!  Another happy tear jerker.

Carole - Ha..I know what you mean.  I lucked out picking this one.  It was like winning the Lottery..well maybe a scratch off card!

Jackie- Your welcome.  My husband has been trying to get me to order from Netflix's.  I am still old school.

Betty - Your welcome.  Enjoy!

Adam- If you liked Pay it Forward you will LOVE this movie.  2 great motivational movies.

Tom - You are too kind.  I knew you were on my tail...I would be happy to move over for you and share the top two spots together.  We need to get together and meet soon.  We are going to be a great team! :)

Janice - I'd love to meet and we would make a great team. The current number 2 has been inactive for quite some time now. See you at the top soon!

Janice, there are only two copies of the movie at our video store and they are both out. Sigh... was really looking forward to watching it this weekend. Will keep trying. Betty

Tom - Great!  Yes, the "current number 2"  has been absent from the RAIN.  I look forward to seeing you at the top.  You deserve it! :)

Betty - Oh bummer!  Glad your going to keep trying.   "Good things come to those who wait!"  :)

Janice, I finally was able to rent the movie today and I've watched it once - so far!  What a wonderful message for everyone who takes the time to view this film.  Thanks for the recommendation - will be passing it along to friends and family.  Betty

Janice -- Thanks for giving us this gift.  I had never heard of this movie until I read your blog....now it is going to be on the top of my gift giving list for Christmas.
