Angel Studios makes a rom-com with Kevin James? And the guy who plays Jesus? What?

The same company whose crowd-powered storytelling helped launch The Chosen into the cultural phenomenon it is today is stepping into brand-new territory with its very first romantic comedy. Solo Mio, starring Kevin James and Jonathan Roumie (best known for his beloved role in The Chosen), is set to hit theaters nationwide on February 6, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend.

🎬 What Solo Mio Is (Really) About

The film follows Matt Taylor (Kevin James), an art teacher whose dream wedding in Rome falls apart when his fiancée leaves him at the altar. Rather than cancel his plans, Matt decides to embark on the honeymoon trip alone, immersing himself in Italy’s culture, food, and unexpected friendships along the way.

If the name Matt Taylor sounds familiar, it’s probably because James has fully embraced the character, creating social media accounts with the handle “thisismatttaylor” where he shares glimpses of his art class, life lessons, and even the proposal that leads into the films’ plot. Recently spotted at the Super Bowl 60, James was in the crowd dressed in a suit with a bouquet of white flowers and a clear expression of sorrow across his face, causing a stir of genuine intrigue which likely led to the success of the films’ opening weekend, landing at number 2 on the charts.

Alongside James, the film stars Jonathan Roumie who plays Neil, one of the people Matt meets during his journey. This part marks a welcome new genre for Roumie, who is widely known for his character of Jesus in The Chosen and his work in Jesus Revolution. But this story is very much its own romantic comedy, not a faith film in the traditional sense.

That’s exciting for fans because it shows Angel isn’t just focusing on one type of story, it’s exploring more ways to bring light into mainstream entertainment while still honoring values of heart, redemption, and connection. Angel Studios is not afraid to explore other genre’s like Sci-fi and Drama.

💖 Think Love, but With Depth

While some Valentine’s releases lean heavily on cliché, Solo Mio appears to offer something a bit richer: a story about heartbreak, resilience, rediscovery, and the ways new relationships even platonic ones help us see life differently. In many ways, that journey resonates deeply with Christian audiences who know what it means to find joy after disappointment.

Whether you’re a fan of lighthearted cinema, a lover of stories about second chances, or simply someone who wants to support Christian creators stepping into new spaces, Solo Mio gives you something to look forward to on the big screen this February.
