Kevin James' New Movie Officially Breaks An All-Time Rotten Tomatoes Record
February 20, 2026

Kevin James' new movie has debuted on Rotten Tomatoes, and the score has set a new record for the actor.
James has starred in dozens of films over the course of his career, and is widely known for fun comedies, including Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009), Grown Ups (2010), and Pixels (2015). If there's one common thread throughout James' career, though, it's that many of his movies haven't fared well with critics. His latest project, Solo Mio, has broken this trend in a major way.
Following its release on February 6, Solo Mio has now debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with an 81% critics' score, making it the highest-rated movie in James' career. This score was generated from 31 reviews, meaning, though it may continue to fluctuate over the coming days, any changes likely won't be drastic.
This 81% critics' score accompanies a Popcornmeter of 96%. Clearly, then, this James film is one that critics and audiences are agreeing on.
