DHAHRAN: Do all roads really lead to Rome? In the newly released “Solo Mio,” which hit Saudi cinemas over the weekend, you get a one-way ticket to find out.
The story starts at a US school, where 50-something-year-old goofy fourth-grade art teacher Matt Taylor (Kevin James) proposes — in Italian — to fellow teacher, Heather (Julie Ann Emery), with the aid of elated students.
Fast-forward to their wedding day in Rome, the music starts to play, but Heather is nowhere to be found.
At first, Matt smiles then panic ensues as he scrambles to find her — only to locate a handwritten goodbye note, the ring and her unworn wedding dress. Heather is a runaway bride.
Realizing it is too late to change his reservations, Matt ends up going on his booked couples package alone.
