When it comes to the autumnal season, few things bring about memories of yesteryear like a good movie. Making now the perfect time to head to theatres to view “Grow.” The new family film starring Golda Rosheuvel as Dinah, Priya-Rose Brookwell as Charlie, Nick Frost as Arlo, Joe Wilkinson as Boris Mudd, Tim McInnerny as Lord Smythe-Gherkin, Jane Horrocks as Lady Smythe-Gherkin, Kathryn Drysdale as Charlie’s mother, Fisayo Akinade as Kevin, Sharon Rooney as Sharon, Jeremy Swift as Mr. Gregory, Alan Carr as the MC, and Dominic McLaughlin as Oliver Gregory.

When a little girl decides to compete in a pumpkin-growing contest in a gourd-obsessed town of Migford, she and her kitchsy aunt create a whimsical tale of trouble, mischief, and fun-loving humor. Perfect for audiences of all ages, “Grow” tells of a town of Mudford. A town ripe with all things pumpkin, except for Dinah Little.

Dinah, the owner of a local farm without pumpkins, must salvage her family business from persistent debtors. After her father’s pumpkin obsession destroyed him and nearly ruined their family farm, Dinah was left behind to pick up the pieces. And while Dinah will happily grow carrots, peas, cabbage, and courgettes, she has little use for Mugford’s pumpkins. Despite her best efforts, harvests on her family farm are becoming minuscule. With debts skyrocketing, she looks for ways to salvage her family farm.

Shackled with debt, Dinah is surprised to find a relative needing to be taken in at her farm–her sister’s child, Charlie. Who, in return, doesn’t want to be farmbound, either? As she’d rather be with her mother. Yet, Charlie’s mother left her to pursue acting, leaving her in Britain’s foster care system. Now, the system has finally found her closest relative—her Aunt Dinah.

Soon after arriving, Charlie finds out her mother is in Hollywood and requires investigative services to find her whereabouts. Serves out of her financial reach. Soon after, Aunt Dinah takes Charlie to the Mugford market, where Charlie sees a poster of a pumpkin-growing contest. Where the winner of the largest pumpkin in Mugford will earn 5,000 pounds–and if someone’s pumpkin crests the one-ton mark, there’s a 100,000-pound bonus.

Charlie, knowing nothing of her family’s agricultural past, nor the cultivation of gourds, must figure out a way to defeat the prize-winning Smythe-Gherkin clan to win the pumpkin growing contest, and find her mother again–as soon as she can convince her Aunt Dinah to let her grow a pumpkin.

Grow–a story where love can grow–is the family film to see with your friends, family, and loved ones this autumnal season. Click here to buy your ticket today to watch Grow in theaters starting Friday, October 17, 2025.

As a child, there were few things I enjoyed more than coming home from school, putting away my backpack and lunchbox, changing into my play clothes, and heading into our den to watch mysterious television-who-dunnits. Everything from Carmen Santiago to Nancy Drew —programs that helped me decipher a myriad of mysteries at home. Which makes me excited for the youngsters in my life to be able to watch the new film, Dot Conner: Webtective, in theatres this season, starting September 19, 2025, starring Dot Conner as the world’s first “webtective,” a detective who uses the internet to solve mysteries. Both involve Dot’s casework and questions dealing with her own Christianity.

Dot Conner: Webtective centers around Dot, as she receives a cryptic phone call from her parent before her first day of high school, plunging her into an unexpected adventure. Navigating high school life, clues her father has left behind, sets her out on a treasure hunt with friends Makayla and Alex through the city, crossing paths with dangerous types along the way. As Dot simultaneously discovers the truth of Philippians 4:13, proving that even in the darkest times, faith can light the way.

Be sure to buy tickets today to see Dot Conner: Webtective in theaters starting September 19, 2025. The movie is perfect for the back-to-school season for your little ones at home this fall.

As a Christian, I’ve seen my fair share of faith-based animated films. Some fun and friendly. Others are more gospel-heavy. One recent favorite?

With summer soon collapsing into the cool embrace of falling leaves, bonfires, and all things pumpkin spice, now is the perfect time to enjoy one last apple pie in the sky summer season family movie, “The Short Game.” From director Frank Sanza, this family film depicts the heart of America’s greatest pastime from the vantage point of Jermey, played by Ben Krieger, a high school senior grappling for a coveted college golfing scholarship. Facing troubles at home and on the field, Jeremy must be victorious in the State Championship, despite obstacles at home, including his mother overcoming cancer and looking after his younger brother, Ethan, played by Owen Himfar, a young, perceptive person, and caddy for his brother, while thriving with Autism.

The greatest points in this film revolve around Ethan, a person thriving while living on the Autism spectrum is represented authentically throughout the film. As writer and director, Frank Sanza, references various aspects of Autism. From the perspective of having an autistic son. Helping Ethan’s characterization to be portrayed as grounded, timely, and highly learned despite addressing various difficulties in his own journey. A poignant reminder of the daily struggles those living on the spectrum may face, including difficulty understanding the nuances of culture and family, while addressing adolescent family dynamics, which I, and so many others, will appreciate.

Making “The Short Game” a wholesome outlook on the world. Sharing an organic view of spectrum families, hardships of youth, and a fresh experience of a family’s caregiving for sick relatives. Despite stock dialogue and underdog movie tropes, the film’s messaging is one to take into the season ahead. Noting the film’s emotional, almost cliché take on sportsmanship and strife, as seen between rival baseball players and scholarship competition.

Despite this, “The Short Game,” full of Christian and sportsmanship tropes as well as periodical references to God and scripture, is the feel-good sort of film family will enjoy before the start of this year’s academic year. As both a golfing and family movie, “The Short Game” delivers as the feel-good film of the season.

“The Short Game” will be released in US theaters on August 29, 2025–click here to buy tickets to see this film.
