Why i love the movie

We have a lot of children who feel over privileged. They feel life owes them a favour and it often seen among the children of parents who are wealthy. This often results in a proud, careless and entitlled behavioue which Red Stevens was rooting out of his fevorite but spoiled grandson.

Naration

The movie starts with a flash back as Red Stevens, a rich, old man is producing an instructional video.
Shifting back to the presence, "Red" Stevens is dead and his lawyer, business partner and friend Mr. Hamilton, asks his secretory Miss Hastings to inform Stevens' family and business partners of Howard Stevens passing.

At the funeral, two of Stevens' sons are muttering that their father may have bribed the rain to make him look like a good person.
Jason Stevens, the main character in the movie, makes an entrance with a very loud muscle-car and a small entourage. He is late but is obviously just there out of duty.

The scene switches to Mr Hamilton's office as he expreses his loss of a friend and business partner, but Red Stevens' greedy relatives are only interested in what his will has in store for them, with each of them expressing desatisfaction with what was given to them.

Jason Stevens strolles in late, and after everyone may have been given a slice of "Red" Stevens' wealth. Now Jason is about to walk out as the only one left and is surprised when he is called by Hamilton who says, if he should leave now, he will not know what was in the will for him.

It turns out to be a box containing some latters and the instructional videos created at the unset.

The content of the box are instructions, he has to pass all the test, tasks and labours else he gets nothing. But if he should pass all the test, he will get a series of gifts and an Ultimate Gift.

It started with the gift of work, which took him to Gus, a task master.
After he lost everything, he could appreciate the gift of money, then he had real friends who were not attracted his money or his lavished life style, his view pf life and money was adjusted when he became friends with Emily and her mother.
Jason was able to learn important life lessons and got transformed into a better person.
