‘The Wrong Paris’ Offers a Fresh Take on Modern Dating Shows
Every few months, a new gimmicky dating show seems to pop up, especially on Netflix. From Love Is Blind to Too Hot to Handle, viewers are constantly treated to quirky spins on connecting singles. The Wrong Paris joins this trend with a clever concept.
Just like there are plenty of fish in the sea, there’s a vast ocean of rom-coms to stream — and these hidden gems are perfect for any occasion, be it Valentine’s Day or any other day of the year. In these underrated romantic comedies, you’ll spot several familiar faces, reminding you of a time when they were just getting started.
This film stars Dawn (Miranda Cosgrove), a Texan artist aspiring to move to Paris, France, for her art. She auditions for a dating show, hoping for a free trip — only to find it’s actually set in Paris, Texas.
Featuring Beloved Childhood Stars — and a Sitcom Favorite
Fans who grew up with Cosgrove in classics like School of Rock and iCarly will be excited to see her in this film! After her role in the Paramount+ reboot of iCarly, we’re hopeful that The Wrong Paris serves as a launchpad for her film career.
Meanwhile, Gen Z might recognize Pierson Fodé, who also started on Disney Channel’s Jessie, playing the role of Trey McAllen on the dating show. Watching these two childhood stars together in a romantic comedy is a delightful treat for those who have followed their careers.
Additionally, fans of slightly older sitcoms will be thrilled to see Insecure‘s Yvonne Orji, known for her role as Molly on HBO’s hit series, as the quirky producer of the dating show. If you miss these beloved shows, The Wrong Paris is sure to entertain.
Country Aesthetics Are Making a Comeback
The Wrong Paris captures its Texas backdrop beautifully with themes of ranch activities, line dancing, and horseback riding. Whether you’re in a big city or browsing TikTok, you may have noticed the resurgence of country vibes, from the popularity of Cowboy Carter to shows like Yellowstone and The Hunting Wives.
If you’re searching for a whimsical, western-tinged romantic comedy, The Wrong Paris hits all the right notes. It’s vibrant, heartwarming, and twangy enough to keep you grinning from start to finish.
