L'amour en double

The scenery steals the show! The female lead was so listless and unbelievable and as a physician that it was no wonder her fiancee left her. The male lead was better but it was probably a struggle to make a romance from a wedding disaster. The secondary romance was more believable and low key. For a medical mission it needed at least some medical problems to treat; too much time sightseeing and laying around the beach and pool. The climax where the four were stranded never felt like they were in any kind of trouble, a missed opportunity in the story.

The coincidences were too much- twin brothers, one nice and the other not so; then the major coincidence of meeting in the Philippines by chance.

Most Filipinos speak English, though broken sometimes. Elijah, the "interpreter", could not even speak Tagalog. The patient who spoke Tagalog, could not really speak the language either. Why wasn't the movie filmed in the Philippines, so actual Filipinos can serve as extras? Movie would've been authentic and not a pretend Philippines. French Polynesia is a beautiful island, but there are better islands in the Philippines. Also, the location made it seem like the doctors lived in luxury while serving the poor people. Very disappointed! :-( Acting was not that great either. Storyline was boring.

For see it, some effort was necessary in my case. Because medical part seems fake or sappy. Because the dilemma between brothers sounds not so realistic. And the try of actors to offer something reasonable has not exactly happy results.

But the good intentions, obvious, are noble enough to not be very critic about Identical love and see with good dose of indulgence the work of Scott Christopher to give to his character the air of lobely hero from some country song having new chance.

Like many Hallmark films, nice can be reasonable term to define it. The romance - unrealistic but it represents the only purpose. So, not so bad.

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. It is embarrassing how the Filipinos were portrayed. I lived there years ago and never had to have a translator. They speak English, and very well I might add. Also, even in remote areas they are clean. Poor maybe, but clean. To show them in torn dirty clothing is insulting.

The scenery was beautiful but I wonder why they didn't just film in the Philippines. It's a beautiful country.

A woman falling for her ex-fiancé's identical twin brother was a different premise but the writing was lacking. The actors did a decent job with what they had but it could have been better.

Extra points for the scenery.

I loved this movie. Two romances for the price of one. I too, would love to see what happens when they get back home. Will Charlotte finally realize that just because Seth is Elijah's twin that he is a totally different person? After all, Seth is far kinder and more considerate than Elijah will ever be. Will Elijah wake up and regret that he let Charlotte go? Seth's mom and family would certainly welcome Charlotte back into the home. Would Seth and Elijah ever be able to get along again? It's an interesting story about how twin brothers are romantically affected by the same woman. I've never seen anything like this before.
