i regularly attend the $ 5 a sermon church of amc and much to my wife and kid consternation . well today i definitely get my money worth . i saw the first sunday showing of the ultimate gift at my local amc here in northern virginia and i enjoy it immensely . it a great story with a wonderful cast . big thanks to fox faith for get it to the multiplex . this be an engage and highly watchable film . in a matter of minute i be completely immerse in the plot and invest in the character of the story . while a few where caricature and i could relate to most of them a real people with real problem and blessing . a i be watch jason learn from the gift that his grandfather be give him and i couldn not help but think of my own father and who be wise and gentle and generous and love . i be lucky that he give me some of these gift in real life instead of from beyond the grave . all of the performance in this film be rock solid . big thumb up to the cast director . draw fuller be superb a someone you want to hate but end up like . the beautiful ali hillis also deliver an excellent performance . ( i expect that her agent will be get more than a few call over the next few week ) . abigail breslin performance be likewise outstanding ( we already know that her agent phone be ring off the hook ) . i encourage anyone take the time to read my comment to seek out this film . it really good . if you have kid and say 8 or year old and up and you should consider take them to this movie for the lesson it teach in a highly entertaining way . ( young kid will probably be bore ) . one more thing this film may not last long on the big screen . i be in a 100 person auditorium with 2 other people this morning and which be kind of sad . i think fox should have put a little bit more into the publicity machine on this one . i also note that my local amc do not have it on the big board of show time at the box office and which i find odd . perhaps they be try to kill the movie in it first week due to low sale by purposely keep it off the marquee . if so and that really a shame because this be quite a nice little film that deserve an audience . cheer and snake .
