What You Need To Know:

In Netflix’s THE WRONG PARIS, aspiring artist Dawn auditions for a reality dating show in hopes of finally seeing Paris, France. When it’s revealed the show is actually happening in Paris, Texas, Dawn schemes to get kicked off the show, but her growing connection to bachelor Trey has her questioning what she really wants. Will Dawn keep her eye on the cash prize, or will she choose love?

THE WRONG PARIS is a funny romcom that gently pokes fun at dating shows like THE BACHELOR. Stars Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fodé have great chemistry, and the supporting cast of female show contestants are hilarious. The movie presents a light moral worldview, emphasizing strong family relationships, friendship, and prioritizing love over money. However, it features dozens of instances of strong language and suggestive jokes, frequent alcohol use, and many scenes featuring revealing clothing. MOVIEGUIDE® advises strong caution for older teenagers and adults.

Dawn leads a small life in Texas, living with her sisters and grandmother, who raised them after their parents died in a car accident. She works as a waitress, but dreams of studying art in Paris. When she’s accepted to a Parisian art school, Dawn is ecstatic — until she sees the tuition costs.

However, her sister, a major fan of reality dating show “The Honeypot,” tells her the next season is shooting in Paris. Dawn auditions, planning to use the plane ticket to get to France, collect her appearance fee to pay the tuition, and quickly exit. She’s thrilled when she’s accepted to appear on the show.

Things take a turn when the contestants get off the plane, though; instead of Paris, France, they’re in Paris, Texas, where they’ll compete for the heart of a wealthy rancher named Trey. Dawn tries to get kicked off the show so she can leave as quickly as possible, but Trey likes her and won’t play along.

As she competes in typical reality-show competitions and interviews, Dawn grows to like Trey. The pair have a real connection, but she’s still keeping a major secret from him: her art school acceptance and plans to spend the next few years in France.

As the show draws to a close and the stakes get higher, Dawn must decide what she really wants. Will she choose Paris and the money, or will she pursue her feelings for Trey?
