Not knowing your husband has a twin is one thing...you won't know unless he tells you. However, not noticing something is "off" about your husband's body during sex is ridiculous. There's another Lifetime movie called My Sister's Secret (or A Sister's Secret) where a husband does not realize his "wife" is the twin, and they pull a similar thing by saying the couple was going through problems and he could "see" a change in his wife (after they sleep together).
I grew up knowing several sets of twins (at least three or four, both kids and adults). The longer you are around them, the more you'll learn their differences. Even when they seem to be identical. They are different people. I realize for the movie to work, she can't "know" right away, but they wasted no time having them sleep together when "Derrick" returned home so they knew what they were doing. Shouldn't she have an eerie/icky feeling she can't understand? I can't imagine it being as simple as "wow, he's trying new things." I know most people's default is not "omg this isn't you, it must be a twin," and we the audience have the benefit of knowing, but the deception is just not always believable. I also don't know why this would be a secret even if the brothers were estranged. There's another twin movie (I also reviewed it) where keeping it a secret worked against the "good" twin. If your brother hates you, wouldn't you want your wife to know...just in case? She still would have no reason to believe it was the brother. It also is a pretty huge secret to keep from your wife.
There's nothing new here, and it's pretty predictable. I was prompted to write this review because I recorded it this week and realized I'd seen it before. It's not the worst, but there are better "twin" stories on the network. There's also a 90s movie with twin brothers that this probably draws from who's name escapes me. It's going to bug me that I can't remember the title.
