This is not a master work. Its actually pretty sappy and the audience for this movie probably isn't all that broad. That said, the movie is well constructed, and even though I'm a jaded, critical jerk, I enjoyed it.

Following the death of his rich father, Jason (Drew Fuller) an aimless trust fund baby, is prepared to collect his inheritance. His father has other plans and links the family riches to Jason performing tasks meant to give the rudderless kid direction and a new found love of life. There is little here that is fresh and, again, many will find this to be a sap-fest. Some good screenwriting by Cheryl McKay (Gigi: God's Little Princess) and good performances by Fuller, Bill Cobbs, and Brian Dennehy saves this from becoming a mindless, Hallmark card put to film.
