Kevin James is back in a romantic comedy with his new film, Solo Mio, which is getting great reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. This marks James’s return to the genre after playing a supporting role in Hitch, a Will Smith movie from 2005 – over two decades ago.
Before its release on February 6th, the movie Solo Mio has received a 91% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. However, this score is based on only 11 reviews so far and may change as more come in. We’ll also see what audiences think once the movie is released in theaters.
Directed by the Kinnane brothers (known for Home Team), Solo Mio stars Kevin James as a man whose Italian wedding plans fall apart when he’s left at the altar. Instead of canceling the trip, he decides to take his honeymoon alone, exploring Italy and enjoying its culture, food, and scenery. The script was co-written by the Kinnane brothers and James himself.
The movie stars Kevin James, along with Alyson Hannigan (known from How I Met Your Mother), Nicole Grimaudo, Kim Coates, Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen), Julee Cerda, Julie Ann Emery (Better Call Saul, Hitch), and Alessandro Carbonara.
ScreenRant’s review of Solo Mio doesn’t align with most critics. Gregory Nussen gave the film a low score of 3 out of 10, describing it as a poorly written take on the Eat Pray Love formula where the solution to heartbreak is simply finding someone new. The review goes on to say…
Beyond a few predictable scenes of James doing typical tourist things in Rome, the film Solo Mio doesn’t really reveal who he is as a person or what his goals are, other than wanting to find a wife.
Most critics find Solo Mio to be a sweet and enjoyable romantic comedy, showcasing a more sensitive side of Kevin James. Reviewers particularly appreciate the genuine connection between James and his co-star, Nicole Grimaudo, and commend the film for being both funny and heartfelt. They also point out that James delivers a surprisingly nuanced performance, moving beyond his typical comedic roles.
Beyond the central story, the movie is a beautiful tribute to Italy, showcasing stunning scenery and captivating visuals. Though a few critics point out moments that feel a bit over-the-top, most agree that the film’s charm more than makes up for any imperfections. Featuring a talented ensemble cast and a lighthearted feel, Solo Mio is a popular choice for a feel-good and romantic night out.
