‘Solo Mio’ Review: Kevin James Is Ripe for Romance in Rome

Key Highlights

• James’s Matt is a fourth-grade art teacher, smitten with Heather (Julie Ann Emery), a fellow teacher.
• A video montage, scored to Ed Sheeran’s sentimental ballad “Perfect,” depicts their courtship.
• For all the celebratory footage of the happy couple, ending with a clever proposal, things aren’t, well, perfect.
• Heather says “yes” — to the dress, the nuptials in Rome, a future with Matt — but as the groom stands at the altar, a grin waning beneath his trim beard, the double doors of an ancient chapel swing open…to niente.
