This week, we feature a pair of delightful family films: One about a kid who enters a pumpkin-growing contest and the other about a shrewd sheep.

New Release

‘Grow’

In the village of Mugford, UK, Charlie Little (Priya-Rose Brookwell) moves in with her quirky Aunt Dinah (Golda Rosheuvel) and dives into the town’s big contest: pumpkin-growing. Determined to outgrow the smug local contest champ, Charlie plants her hopes (and a monster pumpkin) in order win the prize money and find her missing mother.

The comedy plays like a cheerful daydream with dirt under its nails—goofy, bright, and impossible not to smile at. A colorful reminder that persistence (and fertilizer) can make anything flourish. Recommended for older kids.
