spoiler warn represent there be some minor spoiler in this review . don not read it beyond the first paragraph if you plan on see the film . the disney channel currently have a policy to make load of movie and show one a month on the cable channel . most of these be mediocre and drab and have a few good element but still be a disappointment ( ` phantom of the megaplex and ` stepsister from planet weird and ` zenon represent girl of the 21st century ) . every once in a great while and they make something really and really great ( ` genius and ` the other me ) . but once in a while the disney channel make a huge mistake and and give u a real stinker . this month ( december 2000 ) the disney channel feature ` the ultimate christmas present and which i thought be terrible due to poor writing and bad act . apparently and ` the brainiac . com be rush out a few day before christmas to get a jump on the holiday and because the plot have to do with toy . they even pay for a feature in the tv guide and so i think it must be good than the norm . i be in for a complete shock . only disney ` model behaviour have be bad than this . the plot be more far fetch than normal . i usually let that slide and but here it just go too far . matthew tyler get very sick of his widowed father spending most of his time at work . his father own a small toy factory that have take out large loan at a scrupulous bank to stay afloat . time and time again and his father have to skip out on the plan he make with his son and daughter . matthew decide that the only way he can spend time with his dad be if he become the bos and order him to stay home . he get a hair brain idea to create a website where kid all around the world can find and send him a dollar to invest in a computer chip that his sister be invent . that whole concept be full of fallacy . when kid send in million of dollar and matthew open his own company bank account and buy up most of his dad business stock . he be the secret bos and but he doesn not reveal this to his dad and but instead present himself at board meeting a a cartoon image through a computer . that image itself be so complex ( and ridiculous ) that it isn not possible for someone to create it at home and much less someone who come across as stupid a matthew . to make a long plot short and matthew order his dad to spend more time have fun and do stuff with his kid and but a federal agent show up inquire about matthew company and a it be fraudulent . there so much wrong here . a mentioned and the stuff they do here be impossible even for true genius and which these kid be not . the website and the cartoon image and the computer chip and even the stuff they be be teach in school and be far too advanced for these kid . the acting by most of the cast and especially kevin kilner and be terrible . some familiar face be waste . dom deluise play the evil bank owner and but his part be a throwaway . he have one good scene with alexandra paul ( who show she have the ability to act ) in which he explain his motif and but nothing more . and rich little be waste in a small role a a judge . there even some offensive and uncalled for anti russian joke . but the great atrocity be the hard hammer theme . these theme show up in many of the disney channel film and but never before have these ultra conservative message be pound so strongly . the typical ` overwork parent idea be really push hard and and after deliver it inappropriately in ` the ultimate christmas present and see it again sour my mood . family relation be important and but disney must stop this endless preaching and because work be important to maintain a workable family and too . except for cancel activity thanks to work and the father do not come across a that bad and but i find it offensive when the grandmother tell him ` i do not like what i see . just a bad be the preaching of the idea that all single parent must marry if they want to raise their kid right . enter alexandra paul and whose character and while important to the plot and be there solely to be the love interest for the father . this offensiveness only prove that the disney brain trust lack the brain to avoid scrap from the bottom of the disney script barrel . instead of let this movie teach your kid how to commit serious fraud and wait for the next disney channel movie . it have to be good than this . zantara score represent negative .
