Nell Minow Movie Mom Grow is that rare theatrical release that is a genuine treat for the family, filled with charm and lightly dusted with whimsy. Rated: B+ Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 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 Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Linda Cook OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois) The best family Halloween movie you never heard of. Rated: 3 1/2 stars Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru An amusing, light and breezy family-friendly movie that's sweet and delightful. Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies The tone of Grow bounces between silly and sincere... Rated: 2/4 Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Christie Cronan 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. Rated: 5/5 Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Laura B 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Wendy F Whole family loved it. Great story well-told. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Brian S Such a fun uplifting movie with a tremendous cast. Bravo! Every family with kids should see this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Michelle FUNNY!!! CUTE!!!! Dont let the crap showtimes the theaters are giving it discourage you, make an effort to go, you wont regret it! Its a family friendly movie that isnt dumbed down for kids or too childish for adults, with laugh out loud moments. Go see it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Robin M I loved Grow completely! It was sweet and heartwarming without being cloying, or saccharine in the least. A true feel-good movie. I highly recommend it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Kitt Thank you for such a wonderful movie. Family and community and new friends coming together to Grow friendships.
