The Kinnane Brothers have turned filmmaking into a family affair. The credits for “Solo Mio” are loaded with Kinnanes, as Charles and Daniel take directing duties, John and Patrick write the script (joined by Kevin James), Peter edits the picture, and Brendan, Jeffrey, and William serve as producers. The helmers previously worked with James on the 2022 underdog football comedy “Home Team,” but now they’re looking to do something a bit different with the star, putting him in command of his own romantic comedy, and one that carries incredibly heavy psychological issues it would take three movies to fully sort through. “Solo Mio” aims to be sweet and sensitive, tracking a man’s journey through sadness when he’s left at the altar. It’s the kind of story that seems teed up for James’s usual comedic shtick, but the endeavor makes a push to give the lead a chance to display his softer side in a feature that just barely gets by on thespian charm.
