The Wrong Paris
Dawn has been accepted into an art school in Paris, France, but there’s one problem: she can’t afford it. Her sisters convince her to audition for the reality dating show The Honey Pot, where a group of women compete to win one bachelor’s heart and find their happy ending. Dawn’s plan is simple: join the show, collect the money you get for participating, and leave as quickly as possible so she can attend art school. But there are two problems. First, she’s not in Paris, France, they’re actually filming in Paris, Texas. And second, the bachelor turns out to be the perfect man, and he really likes Dawn… and he’s not willing to let her go.
Review
I was so excited to see Miranda Cosgrove in a movie again. It’s been a while since I last saw her in one. I used to watch iCarly all the time when I was younger. I know she’s been in quite a few movies and shows over the past couple of years, but I haven’t watched those. And since I always love a good cheesy romcom, I was super excited to watch this one.
The characters were fun. The other women competing were a bit over the top, and they each represented different stereotypes: the tough girl, the mean girl, the flirty girl. But that’s what made it so entertaining. At times, it was pure chaos and I loved it.
The setting was gorgeous too. Sure, Paris, France is beautiful (and I love that city), but if you know me, you probably know I have a thing for cowboys, hot cowboys. So this was the perfect mix for me, which definitely added bonus points. And of course, this is the perfect movie for people who love watching dating reality shows like The Bachelor. I don’t watch regular television anymore, but now I’m honestly curious if The Bachelor is just as crazy as this movie. Probably not.
As for the story itself, this is where it gets tricky to explain. The movie was kind of weird and even a little bad… but at the same time, I loved it. You know how some cringey movies are so bad they’re hard to watch? This one was a little cringe, but in the best way, but still so much fun. I laughed several times, the wild characters were fun to watch, and there were some genuinely funny jokes.
This is the perfect movie for when you just want to have a good time. Don’t expect anything outstanding or award-worthy—just watch it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is. I really had a great time watching, and it’s been a while since a movie actually made me laugh out loud. This genre is exactly what I love—cheesy (maybe even a little terrible) romcoms. I need more movies like this, and honestly, I think I’ll rewatch it in the future.
