In this peculiar twist on the separated-at-birth scenario, one twin becomes a famous rock star, while the other struggles with his calling…is it God or Rock and Roll? To make it even more bizarre, the man who plays both twins (Blake Rayne inIn this peculiar twist on the separated-at-birth scenario, one twin becomes a famous rock star, while the other struggles with his calling…is it God or Rock and Roll? To make it even more bizarre, the man who plays both twins (Blake Rayne in his awful acting debut) is a former Elvis impersonator, who bears an uncanny look and sound to a cartoon version of The King. Why would they use such an obvious Elvis in a story that isn't about Elvis? Ray Liotta, who plays his preacher father, has plumbed the nadir of his career, then you discover that he's Exec Producer…yikes! The script feels like the worst TV movie ever, the pacing is torture and the original songs are banal and obvious. This is the true meaning of a disaster movie. It only earned 2 points for the hilarious period art direction/wardrobe. Expand

I liked it! Ray has a sermon where he honors Israel and he explains how God loves the Jews.
It serves it's purpose and it has a message. Don't be so quick to criticize something that is intrinsically good.

It's an OK movie... if you've never seen or heard of Elvis and know nothing about the early days of Rock and Roll.

The casting of a Presley lookalike is unforgivably distracting in what could have been a decent little rock and roll fable.

The casting of a Presley lookalike is unforgivably distracting in what could have been a decent little rock and roll fable.

The music, being central to the plot, is also a major failing. One or two songs hit the right early rock feel - then it goes completely off track.

The biggest musical failure comes during a faux Ed Sullivan show when they trot out a 90s power ballad, (think about how well "That Thing You Do" pegged the sounds of the early 60s then imagine they stuck in some Pearl Jam in the middle). Then, to make matters worse, that song is repeated throughout the rest of the story.

Every time you think you might to buy into the premise of "The Identical" they do something incredibly stupid to remind you that you're watching a poorly rendered facsimile of what might have been a decent movie.

The WORST movie I have ever seen. EVER. I "went to the bathroom" several times in the film just to get away from this horrendous mess of a film. Words cannot describe how truly awful this film is.
