La película “The Identical” está protagonizada por dos hermanos gemelos, que no se conocen pues al nacer son separados y dados en adopción a dos familias distintas. El motivo es la Gran Depresión, una crisis económica brutal que sufrieron los Estados Unidos en los años 30, y que hacen que su madre no pueda mantenerlos. Uno de los dos hermanos gemelos es afortunado. Se trata de Drexel Hemsey, que se convierte en una de las estrellas del rock americano de los años 50, teniendo mucha fama, mujeres y dinero. Su hermano gemelo, por el contrario, no tiene tanta suerte. Se llama Ryan Wade, y es adoptado por una familia muy religiosa. De hecho, su padre adoptivo es reverendo, y opina que su hijo tiene que seguir los pasos predicando la palabra de Dios. Sin embargo, a Ryan lo que le gusta es la música. Por eso, se va a tener que enfrentar a su familia, aunque eso es algo que le da igual si tiene que hacerlo para cumplir su sueño, que es cantar.

The story was okay but the big-screen adaptation was in serious need of help. At one scene, I thought "Ryan" (Blake Rayne) and his "momma" (Ashley Judd) were a young couple dating or possibly a young married couple, then the script reveals this was his "momma". They couldn't spring for some aging makeup or some gray hair or a few fake wrinkles to make it at least APPEAR she was old enough to be his mother?!!! I mean, that's the kind of stupidity seen throughout this movie. It was a decent attempt at a story but the story was "just okay" to begin with, and it seems obvious no one cared enough about it to really put much effort into the movie adaptation. The acting was sub-par and the songs...oh mercy. If you look at the cover art and think this is a movie about an Elvis impersonator, think again. I mean, they very loosely base this around the idea of an Elvis impersonator but DO NOT watch this thinking you're going to get some Elvis Presley music. The music and singing in this film - although someone was trying to sound like Elvis Presley - was just plain BAD. The story was mediocre at best and its translation to the big screen was just atrocious. There are far better "music" movies out there and while this story was okay, it just didn't make for a very interesting movie. Kudos for a valiant effort but it fell flat.
Anyone remember this movie? It's alright if you don't, because in a few days I won't.
