The Wrong Paris is a 2025 American romantic comedy film directed by Janine Damien from a screenplay by Nicole Henrich. The film premiered on the Netflix movie platform on September 12, 2025.
„Netflix's "The Wrong Paris" is a charming romantic comedy with a pinch of irony and a "big anti-romantic pattern" — because the main character tries to get to Paris, France, but ends up in... Paris, Texas. It's a funny and slightly crazy story that intertwines dreams of art, a reality show without warning, and real sparks at the most unexpected moment.
Dawn (Miradna Cosgrove) is an aspiring artist accepted to a prestigious school in France, but without any money. In order to change her life, she participates in a reality show that is supposed to win her a trip to Paris. However, it turns out that it is a different "Paris" - the one in Texas, and the plot is set in motion in a total messed up romance, where everything - from airplanes to hearts - gets messed up in the most hilarious way.
The film features physical comedy, romantic entanglements, and a light sarcasm towards the "reality love" genre. Miranda Cosgrove, in addition to being an actress, is also an executive producer and says that she drew inspiration from The Bachelor, while filming was a great opportunity to film in a female-friendly environment and learn new skills — from horseback riding and lassoing to welding.
The film has been criticized in part for the fact that, although set in Texas, it was filmed in Canada—in Vancouver and Agassiz, British Columbia—because Canadian studio policy offers greater tax incentives than Texas. However, the production design successfully conveys the illusion of a "small" Texas town, convincing enough for the comedy genre.
„The Wrong Paris“" is both a fresh and cozy farm of misunderstandings and romantic traps, with a soul hidden behind a light print. If you're looking for a romantic film where the heroine is more real, the plot — more naive, and the ending — not so predictable, this is a hot hedged recommendation. It is expected to premiere on Netflix on September 12, 2025.
