i think this be one of the bad movie i have see in quite some time . i cry very easily during movie and yet this movie and which be suppose to be a tearjerker do not bring a single tear . i have several problem with it . i do not believe that abigail breslin acting be quite up to par with what we have see her do in other film . i also be very confused with the relationship between jason and alexia . she do not like him and then she some what tolerate him and then she do not like him again and then the second he come back from equador she hug him like they be marry . and do not get me start on his trip to equador . i understand that he need to find out the truth about his father and which still doesn not seem relevant to me and but get take hostage by drug lord . how do that advance the plot in any way . they never mention it again and it take up way too much of the movie to be so irrelevant . the continuity be horrible . he be homeless for a month but he barely get stubble . he take hostage and grow a huge beard . the first time emily see jason be at his grandfather funeral . however and what be emily do there to begin with . true and she a patient on his cancer ward and but if every patient who be in his wing of the hospital come and it would have be a lot more crowded . i keep wait for them to explain that . i wait in vain . and i have problem with the scene where his ex girlfriend come back . he just ignore her . this would have be the perfect opportunity for him to truly show how he have change . he could tell her off for use him for his money . he could try to show her what he have learn in hope of start to change her too . instead and he let her to into his bedroom and wait naked while he go for a walk . a for his father death and a plane crash be a plane crash . it wasn not like his grandfather have be fly the plane in which his father die . seriously and no matter whether or not he just leave for the sake of leave and or leave to take medicine to a nearby town and the crash itself be still an accident that could have happen either way . in conclusion and save yourself the money and do not go see it . there be plenty of other movie that good handle the issue tackle in the ultimate gift . if you be that curious and wait for it to come out on dvd . i be sure you would not have long to wait .
