The Identical

What a wonderful fantasy Elvis movie. I am moved. I appreciate Ray Liotta's performance. I am so grateful that someone is thinking of our feelings. What an interesting idea.

I understand that this is just a "dream" idea, a fantasy yet I found a sincere delight in watching this film. I loved Elvis and was often sad I never had a chance to see him live. Dreams and hope. This movie makes such a dream come true if only for our hearts and thoughts. Again, The King never dies. Thank you for bringing him back if only for a moment, a glimpse of the spirit. This movie proves the spirit is progressive if your heart really feels it. Elvis inspired dreams, thanks again to the actors Ashley Judd, Seth Green, Joe Pantoliano and finally the man, Blake Rayne, your best.

Both my wife and I were amazed at the depth of the acting ability of Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd. This movie had both of us fully engaged from start to finish. As other reviewers have stated ignore the negative feedback as this movie delivered well beyond anything we anticipated. For those ladies out there keep some Kleenex close by as there are several scenes that will deliver some strong heart tugs. Guys watch and listen closely as history is told and even I was impressed with the directors delivery of years gone by.

This is a rock n roll history and life of a specific individual. It will reference another artist so sit back and enjoy the ride. This is one movie we will keep and share with our family. Kudos to the director and many actors who delivered a movie that fully engaged its audience. This is one of the few that delivers!

An old style movie well acted, directed and told. I enjoyed it immensely even though it was kind of corny in a lovable way.

I am a Christian that is very wary of faith based films because they are usually cheesy and badly done. The Identical is not your typical faith based film. While there is a preacher character and faith is discussed some, there is no preachy message and no altar calls in the movie. This is just a wholesome movie that was surprisingly good and is safe for the whole family. All my kids and my wife enjoyed the movie. My wife did say that the whole Elvis thing going on was a little weird, but at the same time it made the film interesting.

I am disappointed that this film made so little money. It deserves to have been viewed more and to have made more money. I'm not sure if there was a lot of marketing for this film. Hopefully, it will have a greater life on Netflix and on DVD.

Great movie and an original idea for once. Of course, anyone who knows anything about Elvis will see through this film that the writer(s) had to be fans. From the obvious look and sound of the lead to little details such as a twin brother, Jewish symbols on jewelry and a trust-worthy TV host proclaiming that a misunderstood and controversial entertainer is really a good boy. This film is over-saturated with the king's likeness and life but BE WARNED: this movie is NOT about Elvis. I have read multiple reviews on multiple sites from Elvis fans that are "mortified" by this Elvis biopic... that it is not. The Elvis persona is merely the inspiration for how the filmmaker(s) chose to represent a superstar character and obviously chose to parallel the Presley family a little to build the character and you know what? That's okay. You also have a handful of folks who absolutely despise faith-based films and they make their way onto different sites as their Cheetoh-stained fingers dance across computer keyboards sending out their digital diatribes from their parents basements (or from a table at Starbucks) in the form of a review in order to make themselves feel triumphant in the fight against Christianity whether they have seen the film or not. Here is the deal, the film is fun, family-friendly and offers up an original idea (as far as movies are concerned) and is accompanied by an original and impressive soundtrack. It goes without saying that Ray Liotta delivers as usual and Seth Green, Ashley Judd, Blake Rayne, Joe Pantoliano, Brian Garaghty, Chris Mulkey and the rest bring stellar performances to the film. The cinematography is captivating and creative which is no easy feat considering the production team only had 35 days to tell a story that spans over decades. So, if you understand that this is NOT an Elvis movie and you are NOT terrified and offended if a biblical passage crosses your hypersensitive ear canals, then you may proceed and enjoy this heartwarming and entertaining tale.
