Vancouver plays The Wrong Paris in the Netflix rom-com starring Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fodé on a dating show.
She signed up for Paris, France. She got Paris, Texas. In this feel-good Netflix romantic comedy, Miranda Cosgrove plays aspiring artist Dawn who joins a dating show hoping for a free trip to Paris, France, but ends up just a few miles from her hometown in Paris, Texas. What starts as a plan to get eliminated takes an unexpected turn when sparks fly with Trey the bachelor (Pierson Fodé).
Smallville’s Kent Farm in Aldergrove is Dawn’s family home in Texas.
And the Hillop Diner is the Texas cafe where Dawn works as a waitress.
Longer synopsis:
Desperate to escape her tiny hometown in Texas and explore the world, Dawn (Miranda Cosgrove) gets accepted to an art school in Paris but doesn’t have the funds to cover the travel and living expenses. Looking for ways to raise quick cash, her younger sister convinces her to audition for a Bachelor-type reality show set in Paris for the free flight and appearance fee – only to discover the producers have orchestrated a shocking twist – the show is actually set in Paris, Texas.
Now trapped as a contestant on a reality show just 30 minutes from her hometown, Dawn is determined to get kicked off, but she’s taken aback when a real romance begins to blossom with Trey (Pierre Fode), the shows handsome and charming bachelor. This leads her to question what she wants out of life, and if it’s worth leaving the small-town values and farm living she’s always known.
