Grow is that rare theatrical release that is a genuine treat for the family, filled with charm and lightly dusted with whimsy.

Director John McPhail keeps the comedy buoyant and doesn’t get in the way of what’s destined to be serviceable pre-bedtime entertainment for a very specific time of year.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

Earnestly whimsical with a touch of absurdity, this is a sweet, heartwarming family comedy that holds its own "pumpkin" weight against the classics.

For an American trying to catch up with the dialogue made enjoyment of film challenging. The plot was not originally just an old tried and true manipulation of a standard plot...the story and the humor and saved it. The acting for the most part also saved the movie, some of the actors were really strong some weaker.....it should be appealing kids movie in Europe. IT was brought some chuckles and it was heart warming in a comfortable sort of way.

A heartwarming movie set in as a parody of Oktoberfest town where all side plots and characters are introduced but never expanded upon. the most safest movie about gardening set in near Halloween. Count how many times where the dog shows up.

Honestly much better than I expected. It’s definitely schmaltzy, but in a “we’re all having fun here” way. Also there are some truly great sketch comedy bits buried in here. I’m tired of dystopia if I want bad news I have the news. This was a return to movies that are just kind of fun.
