Movie Review - Solo Mio
For me, there has to be some believability in a romance movie, and this one just didn't do it for me. It all hinges around the first time Matt and Gia meet, and I don't see any reason for Gia to be anything other than dismissive toward Matt. In any realistic situation, Gia would think, Typical American. Give him his espresso and never think of him again.
I just don't get it. And that pretty much ruins everything else going forward.
There are some mildly humorous moments here and there. I noticed other people in the theater laughing as well, so the movie definitely earns the comedy-genre-badge.
I do appreciate the introspection that Matt goes through, and his gradual understanding of the flaws in his relationship with his fiancée.
I didn't hate watching the movie, and I was hoping for a happy ending. But I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good romance movie. There are better ones out there.
