According to ChatGPT, of the 2 million-plus marriages in the United States each year, around 50,000 end in a last-minute breakup or in a left-at-the-altar situation, resulting in devastation for the person left waiting for their partner who never arrives. The most well-known left-at-the-altar celebrity instance was when Julia Roberts left Kiefer Sutherland at the altar in 1991.
The new movie "Solo Mio" is about a man, Matt Taylor, played by Kevin James, who is in Tuscany, Italy, about to be married, and is left standing at the Church altar. The rest of this movie is about Matt's inability to get his money back for the huge cost of the planned Hotel and honeymoon in Italy, and being surrounded by other married couples to try to help him get over the worst day in his life. The screenplay for this film is surprisingly simple and mostly mundane, with some minor humor and an ending twist that I found very well done, and impossible to predict - essentially saving this movie into one that is more memorable.
The Rotten Tomatoes for this average January movie is a too high 77% with my rating around 70% and a very marginal recomendation.
