Grow: In Theaters Starting October 17! (+ Amazon Gift Card Giveaway)
We love watching movies that match the season—it’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy time together as a family and embrace the moment we’re in. With fall settling in, there’s no better time to cozy up with a film that captures the spirit of the season.
Opening October 2025, GROW is the perfect pick for autumn. It’s warm, funny, and full of whimsy—a delightful alternative to spooky Halloween flicks, especially for families looking for something safe and charming.
Movie Synopsis:
In the Pumpkin Capital of the World, stoic farmer Dinah Little (Golda Rosheuvel) begrudgingly takes in her spirited niece, Charlie (Priya-Rose Brookwell). But Charlie isn’t an ordinary child—she has a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved. As the town prepares for the annual pumpkin-growing contest, Charlie sets her sights on winning. With the help of quirky Arlo (Nick Frost), plot and pumpkins thicken as rival growers pull every trick in the book. Will Charlie and Dinah’s unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen? As her pumpkin grows, so does her bond with Dinah, and together they learn the real prize is joy, laughter, and family.

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

This would be a great movie to take my nieces and nephew to. The family has their own garden that they help their mom with, and I think this would be inspiring for them. As a past 4H leader of a children’s gardening group, I would find this enjoyable too.
