The story is so basic and predictable, the acting is brutal, but...... It's like a watchable TV movie. I did watch it all and .... Simply put its terrible movie making but I enjoyed parts of it enough to want to watch it to the end... Train wreck or car accident type idea ...curious as to how predictable it will be to the end. The music is more basic than the Beatles But it's catchy and sounds like Elvis and I guess that's why I watched the whole movie. The veteran actors are obviously putting in time and the director took the first or second takes to keep within budget. Every thing is stereotypical 1950's language, slang and morals. The dialogue is hilarious I assume the writers were doing things tongue in cheek.

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.

I just needed something to be 'background noise' as I worked on my own projects. Turned on this movie on Netflix on my 2nd large monitor next to my 'working' monitor. Ended up getting an unexpected two-hour break from work due to cancelled meetings, so I sat back in my chair and focused on the movie. It started rather slowly and since I had not read the synopsis here, I didn't know what to expect, but hey I had my popcorn so I settled in to watch. It is an excellent family type movie or maybe a kinda 'chick flick'. NO sex. NO swearing. NO smoking. NO drinking (by the main characters). Just normal, average folks trying to lead good lives. Blake Rayne starring in his first movie ever. He is a well-known Elvis impersonator and that is obvious after the first 10 minutes of the movie. So what? The MAN is handsome, looks like a member of Elvis' family, and boy! can he sing! There's a lot of singing in this movie, early rock music. Apparently some of the other commentors didn't like that, but as a MUSICIAN, I DID. (Non musicians tend to 'like' 'pop' music because they don't grok music. Fine. But real musicians have a different 'understanding' of music.) Other reviewers have explained the premise of the movie, so I won't bother. I go more for 'sensation'... and this movie filled me up emotionally. I thought Ray Liotta gave an Oscar-winning performance, because for the FIRST time I saw how well he can ACT. I didn't know it was Mr. Liotta until halfway through the movie. Ashley Judd was fine, but she is really a one-trick-pony actress, she knows how to play -- Ashley Judd, but she does it exceptionally well. Seth Green is so cute, and quite a good b-rate actor. Actually all main actors in the movie were obviously professionals. BTW, this is NOT a religious movie even though Ray plays a minister and biblical quotes show up once in a while. As far as I am concerned, most people are sheeple anyway, and if the prevailing zeitgeist is 'anti-Christian' rhetoric, that's what the sheeple will baaaaa baaaaa baaaaah in comments for movies of this type. Good entertainment, moral and family strong. LOVED IT. However, the typographer responsible for the end titles (Sherwood Jones) let a typo escape proofreading (I saw the typo), and whoever was responsible for the type fount and kerning didn't understand type for streaming media/TV/movie screens either. The kerning should have been relaxed TV spacing (tight NOT touching), but the titles were, in fact, over kerned, possibly minus 1 when they should have been plus 1), (eruditely yours). Ms. KnowItAll (but I do so BFD) PS this movie may have financially 'bombed' at the theatres, but so did "It's a Wonderful Life". This is a good family movie, that leaves you with a good feeling, and I am BETTING it'll be on TV/streaming media devices for decades to come, just like "It's a Wonderful Life."

---SPOILER ALERT--- THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILER---------This is the latest Elvis-movie, without ever mentioning his name. And that is so refreshing about it. The protagonist Blake Rayn has performed as Elvis impersonator, is tall, handsome and looks a almost like Elvis, he sings almost like Elvis. So the storyline is a new and wonderful idea: what if Elvis's twin brother Jessie Garon wasn't stillborn but given in adoption to another couple of parents after birth? What does it feel like to look exactly like the King of Rock and Roll and singing as good as he does? Having everybody in your small hometown saying how identical you are? And your father the preacher (Ray Liotta, great performance) wants you to be a man of God, but all you want to do is music? Working as an impersonator of your own twin brother without knowing who he is? Participating in a look-alike-contest with the King in the Jury pointing you out as the winner? But you are only a copy of the original and not allowed to sing your own songs and do your own music, to be a star of your own, because you already exist. Great script. And then, the untimely early death of the King leaves the Identical as the only one left. He learns the truth and has to make a decision: Tell the world who he really is or remain the impersonator? Find out for yourself, this movie is well worth watching.
