Solo Mio (2026)

Solo Mio is a postcard with a plot stapled to the back. Kevin James plays Matt, an American schoolteacher left at the altar in Italy with nothing but a note, who takes the nonrefundable honeymoon by himself because what else is he going to do. Rome looks gorgeous, the countryside looks even better, and the story goes about where you’d guess, with every bump sanded down before it can sting. The supporting couples get a line of personality each, including a pair who keep divorcing and remarrying each other, which honestly deserves its own movie. Still, James is sweet here. He plays heartbreak quiet instead of goofy, and it works. Nicole Grimaudo brings real warmth as Gia, the café owner who rescues his wallet from a pack of preteens, and Andrea Bocelli turning up as her uncle is a lovely, silly surprise. It made $26.4 million worldwide on a reported $4M. A 5.8 because it’s kind and pretty and never takes a real risk. $3.27 says you start pricing flights to Rome before the credits finish rolling.

What works: Kevin James plays heartbreak with gentle sincerity, and the Rome and Tuscany locations are gorgeous.

What doesn’t: The story is predictable and smooth to a fault, and the two married couples are sketched too thinly to matter.

Who it’s for: Anyone who wants a clean, sweet rom-com about starting over, especially guys who usually skip rom-coms.
