Movie Reviews of Air Guitar Nation
Movie Review: To err is human, but to air guitar is divine. - Bjorn Turoque
Summary: 5 Stars
Since there has been rock n' roll, there has been air guitar. For decades, air guitar was something that you did behind a locked, closed door. But no more - some enterprising people have established an Air Guitar World Championship in Oulu, Finland. The documentary Air Guitar Nation focuses on several American contestants for the coveted championship.
Viewers meet many great characters. David "C Diddy" Jung is one of the favorites for the title - much to the consternation of his Korean-American parents who wanted him to become a doctor or a lawyer. C Diddy uses a "Hello Kitty" backpack as a breastplate during his performances. One of C Diddy's main rivals is Dan "Bjorn Turoque" Crane, who often comments on the deeper meaning behind air guitar.
Viewers have to see some of the other contestants to believe them. One man performs in the nude while another plays air guitar to Christian rock from his wheelchair. All hope to impress the judges by demonstrating an ill-defined quality called "airness."
It's hard to say what makes Air Guitar Nation a winner. There are great tunes, interesting characters, and lots of humor. My wife and I watched with our ten-month-old daughter and she happily bounced along to the songs. In the end, the film is goofy, good fun that gives the viewer a different slice of life.
