Even the spicy actors cannot save Identical Looking like a kind of family drama of watering that would be better like Hallmark is special from a feature film. As a concept, this story had a lot of promises, offering an alternative universe in which Elvis survived (in real life, the other Presley baby was stillborn) and grown by other parents. Of course, the filmmakers could not use Elvis’s name, but everything about Drexel “from Dreams” Hemsley was created to remind the viewers of Elvis, including the casting of Rayne, which is actually hello. But unfortunately, filmmakers took their fascinating idea and turned into a mild, white sparked story deprived of the carism that was so amazing performers. Rayne could look at and sound part, but he is not capable of an actor enough to carry this story.

The other of the main problems of the film is to focus exclusively on the adopted twin, if that would be so much more inclusive to show both boys who grow up in similar musical men – one star, and the other frustrated. Fortunately for the spectators, Rayne is surrounded by capable veteran actors, such as Liotta, which contributes enough job as a serious preacher; SUDD as a mysteriously constant mother; And Seth Green as a comic drummer who is known Ryan since he is a child.
