~35 songs in the Soundtracks, none from the E.Presley hit list. In fact, EP was mentioned next to the name of the star brother, to legally separate fiction from reality.
The infants are separated when the parents give one to a traveling preacher RL and his wife AJ; it's the Depression, and the bio parents are unemployed. Not really clear why they kept 1 child, but they "buried" the now-missing twin in an empty shoebox.
We follow the twin whose parents have familiar faces, with the bio-parented twin in the news. Our twin also has excellent singing talent, but the preacher wants the son to become a preacher, and certainly not pursue rock 'n' roll. But when impersonating the star becomes an industry, our twin becomes The Identical.
Because this film is not worth watching a second time: the premise doesn't really go anywhere interesting. Our twin wants to add some songs of his own to the act, but his manager forbids it. So instead of trying it anyway, our twin quits the business. The star dies in a private plane crash, and our twin finds the letter his bio-father wrote to explain his "adoption". Our twin goes to the star's gravesite and meets his bio-dad, and later we see him with adopted dad. He never reveals he's the actual twin, and keeps doing the impersonation career.
AJ gets very little to do here.
The music is very EP-esque, but not close enough to tempt attorneys to sue. The actor has only 1 other film credit, in the awful film Hounddog ('07), 5, playing guess who. His career is apparently to impersonate EP, with a reference to a concert in '19 on his website. He really looks the part, and I suspect he dialed back his EP-ness for this film. This is not a 5 because he has charisma.
Rated 5.1 (2,322)
