What critics said

What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Dawn joins a televised dating show to pursue an art opportunity and encounters its bachelor under false geographic expectations.
Dawn expects Paris, France, but the production takes place in Paris, Texas, driving her attempt to leave.
Dawn’s desire to control her participation and eventual choices is central to the conflict and critical discussion of the ending.
The film treats dating-show and romantic-comedy conventions as cheesy entertainment while openly acknowledging their formulaic structure.
