Fall is quickly approaching, and the family-friendly movie Grow is the perfect way to start the season. I'm eager to see how the tale of pumpkins and sabotage plays out.

About GROW

Welcome to the pumpkin capital of the world, where the pumpkins are epic, the rivalries are fierce, and the competition is anything but garden variety. Dinah Little, a no-nonsense farmer with a tough-as-a-pumpkin exterior, reluctantly takes in her abandoned niece, Charlie. Dinah is not quick to affection, and Charlie is not one for sitting still. So she throws her into farm life, sleeves rolled up and hands in the dirt.

Then comes the town’s biggest spectacle, the annual pumpkin-growing contest, a Halloween season tradition that brings out wild stunts, eccentric characters, and record-setting drama. But Charlie has something no one else does, a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved.

But as both pumpkin and plot thicken, and rival growers pull every trick in the book, will Charlie and Dinah’s unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen?

As her pumpkin grows bigger, so does her bond with her aunt Dinah. Together they discover that the real prize is not measured in pounds, but in joy, laughter, and family. What begins as a seed blossoms into an exuberant and hilarious story of crazed competition, found family, and love that grows as boundless as the pumpkins themselves.

GROW opens in theaters on October 17

Salvation Poem

I am so blessed to have another faith-filled family movie to tell you about. Light of the World is a 2D hand-drawn animation. This is the first movie from Salvation Poem Project, which is a ministry committed to sharing Jesus with the world. Director Jon Schafer was the producer of the beloved program Superbook. Director Tom Bancroft was a long-time animator with Disney who worked on films like The Lion King, Mulan, and Beauty and the Beast. Movieguide is quoted as saying, "It stresses faith, family, and trusting in God's plan. It's beautifully animated and entertaining...based entirely on the Bible"

Synopsis:

It’s AD 30 and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn’t exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and their new friends begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure. This beautiful, 2D-animated story of Jesus is told through the eyes of his beloved young friend, the Apostle John. From the beginning of Jesus’ ministry through his crucifixion and resurrection, LIGHT OF THE WORLD powerfully illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth changed the world forever and still changes lives today!

My review

Light of the World was a fresh take on how things might have been through the youngest disciple, John. The animation and the portrayal of John's age in the movie will capture the attention of both children and adults. Even my husband, who reads the Bible almost every day didn't know John was the youngest disciple, so it opened his eyes a bit and he wants to revisit the books of John again. 

I love it when movies encourage you to seek more information. This movie did that, and I can't wait to hear what my son and grandsons think of the film.
