The Identical has a good heart, but the good heart is enshrouded in a bad idea.

I admit I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, it was just too weird not to be engaged with it.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 20, 2020

Too goofy to take seriously and too heavy-handed to dismiss as a so-bad-it-is-good guilty pleasure.

Is it an Elvis movie or a Jesus movie (or a dessert topping or a floor wax)?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 29, 2018

There's nothing that stands out about this film besides the music, which is fun and enjoyable, and sadly not enough of it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2018

The Identical's biggest problem ... is that it substitutes clichd conflict between corny stock characters like a money-grubbing talent agent and a rooted-in-his-ways minister for real narrative development.

| Mar 21, 2018

The Identical is a surreal kick to the head, a well-intended ham fest of unintentional comedy that the "Sharknado" guys only wish they could make.

This is [Dustin] Marcellino's first feature and it feels like a nervous first attempt at bringing a production together.

| Original Score: D | Aug 17, 2017

While it's not a dull time, working within a fictional construct it lacks the depth to really make this come alive.

| Original Score: C | Mar 12, 2016

This is a terrific premise for a movie. Too bad they do so little with it.

Heartfelt Story & Loved the Music

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 18, 2014

Fans of bad movies, please note: This is a must-see. This is so bad it must be seen to be believed - 'Showgirls' bad, a vision that slowly goes wrong, then terribly wrong, then hits disaster levels. In a sense, it's an Ed Wood-ian exercise in wrong.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Sep 14, 2014

Did you know that Elvis had an identical twin brother named Schmelvis?

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 13, 2014

A "what if" about Elvis' twin provides good entertainment for those seeking family fun and for die hard Elvis fans.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 9, 2014

It's a mysterious, hilarious mess, a confusional cry for directions in a Triple Elvis Universe. Buy your ticket now, before it magically disappears from theaters, and feel the brain-breaking power of song.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 9, 2014

Even with all the faith injected into this film like a wino mainlining heroin, there's no real message, no real conclusion, and no real resolution.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 7, 2014

To paraphrase a Presley classic: Wise men say, only fools rush in to see a one-trick pony revolving around an annoying Elvis look-a-like.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 7, 2014

A hollow inspirational Christian-themed jukebox musical that is flat out absurd.

| Original Score: C | Sep 5, 2014

... a bizarre musical drama that laughably tries to pass itself off as an inspirational, faith-based tale of wish fulfillment.

| Sep 5, 2014

Musical melodrama lacks charisma but is fine for tweens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2014
