Angel Studios, renowned for its faith-based content like The Sound of Freedom and The King of Kings, is making a bold move into romantic comedy with the upcoming theatrical release of Solo Mio. Set for a wide release on February 6, the film is directed by Chuck Kinnane and Dan Kinnane, known for their work on Home Team. Produced by Mark Fasano and Jeffrey Greenstein, Solo Mio marks a significant milestone for Angel Studios as it embraces a genre that combines heartfelt themes with comedic undertones.
Romantic Misadventures and Soulful Connections Set Against Italy’s Culture and Star-Studded Cast
Solo Mio stars Kevin James as Matt, a man whose dream wedding in Italy is derailed when his fiancée leaves him at the altar. Refusing to let the trip go to waste, Matt sets off on the honeymoon alone, exploring the charm, cuisine, and rich culture of Italy. Along the way, he meets Gia, played by Nicole Grimaudo, and what begins as a solo getaway turns into a heartfelt journey of healing and unexpected romance.
