Just thought members of this forum would like this movie as well. It's
on the lines of Pay It Forward. Do try to catch it on DVD / NetFlix if
you can.

Here's a synopsis from IMBD:
"After the death of the oil tycoon Howard 'Red' Stevens, his greedy
family is gathered in the office of his lawyer, partner and friend Mr.
Theophillis 'Ted' Hamilton and his associated Miss Hastings for the
reading of the will. For his reckless and selfish grandson Jason
Stevens, who hated him, Red assigns twelve apparently simple tasks
called "gifts" - of work, money, friends, learning, problems, family,
laughter, dreams, giving, gratitude, a day and love - challenging the
playboy Jason to a journey of discoveries. When he meets the leukemic
girl Emily and her mother Alexia, Jason changes his perspective of
life and money, superseding the expectations of Red, improving and
becoming a better man and receiving the ultimate gift from his wise
grandfather. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"
