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.
