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.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 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.… Expand
