THE FUSE

No grand romantic gesture goes unpunished. It isn’t a saying but perhaps it should be if we take a cue from the start of the PG-rated romantic comedy “Solo Mio” — starring Kevin James. 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.
