IMDb Ranking Explodes: Netflix Film Rises 1640 (!) Places And Crashes Into The Top 10
'The Wrong Paris' may not be a great film according to film critics, but Netflix users are loving it. The movie has become unexpectedly popular, resonating well with audiences.
Many strong films have been coming out recently. A Netflix movie, which has been a bit under the radar, now also seems to be a big hit for the streaming giant. We're talking about The Wrong Paris.
This appeared to be just another average romantic comedy from the streaming service, but Netflix must be pleased nonetheless. At a record pace, the film has risen over 1600 spots on IMDb and has reached the top 10.
The story centers around Dawn (Miranda Cosgrove), an art student dreaming of studying in Paris, France. To finance her dream, she participates in a dating show that promises to take place in the "City of Love."
However, the shock is immense when she discovers that it’s about the wrong Paris, namely the one in Texas. What starts as a disappointment slowly evolves into a complex dilemma: will she choose money, ambition, or true love when she develops feelings for bachelor Trey?
The Wrong Paris receives a 3/5 star review from our own Leen Megens on FilmTotaal. The film is also praised by Netflix users for its clever and well-developed contrast between dreams and reality, packed with enough drama, humor, and unexpected twists.
The appeal of The Wrong Paris lies partly in its relatability. The concept of reality TV and love in a fake 'Paris' clearly resonates in an era where dating shows are wildly popular around the globe.
While critics may be divided and point out clichés, viewers are clearly less strict. Despite a score of around 62% on Rotten Tomatoes, the public embraces the film as a 'feel-good guilty pleasure.' Reaching the IMDb top 10 is a rare example of how a modest romcom can still convince audiences.
