Kevin James plays a man who goes on his planned honeymoon � alone � after being left at the altar, and finds more than he bargained for in the streets of Italy. Angel Studios' first theatrical release from a TikTok-viral campaign.

Italy Heals Everything

Angel Studios, which built its profile with crowdfunded faith-adjacent content, swings for a broader audience with Solo Mio � and largely succeeds on the strength of Kevin James' commitment to his character's journey. Matt Taylor is a recognizable type: the sweet, slightly ridiculous man who doesn't know what he wants until he loses it, then goes looking in the most beautiful country on earth. The Italian locations are genuinely gorgeous, and director Austin Hamilton uses them with a light touch.

"Kevin James is warm and winning, and Italy does what Italy always does � makes everything look like it could be the backdrop to a second chance."

� Variety

The Verdict

Gentle, warm, occasionally too soft, but never dishonest. A crowdfunded rom-com with genuine heart. Angel Studios has found its mainstream voice, and James finds a role that suits him perfectly.
