If you liked The Ultimate Gift, you'll probably like Fireproof (2008) with Kirk Cameron. I personally like Fireproof better.
shareTwo Movies I would recommend is "Secondhand Lions" and "August Rush"
shareReally, nobody mentioned "The Pursuit of Happyness"?

Reality is subjective.
The closest one is Korean "A Millionaire's First Love" released in 2006 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0757157/). It's also about arrogant spoiled rich kid.

On their way to Disneyland his girlfriend Gina, who is a total drama queen and a snob calls him and asks him if he wants to come see her and her father at the racetrack. Michael says yes and takes Tommy to a Kiddie Zone so Michael could go to the racetrack. On the way back to get Tommy, Michael gets in a car accident and writes down the wrong information to the victim. Michael and Tommy get into an argument when Michael gets home and Tommy leaves the next day. Tommy's mother calls Michael's parents to tell him how rude Michael was to Tommy.

Try The Perfect Gift. Very similar in lessons learned.
"Take a chance, flip a coin, everything in life is 50/50"
Not a movie...yet, but Grisham's book, The Testament, has some similarities to this story.
