Movie Reviews of Air Guitar Nation
Movie Review: BUY THIS MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a goofball subject. Air guitar is one of the unspoken truths associated with American culture since the early stages of rock. Most of the people you see at one point in time indulged themselves in the apparitional past time. This movie comes at a time when wielding the symbolic guitar is now approaching reality. I was struck early on by the feeling of magical metal tempo surrounding me as I contorted and muttered the groans of approval on my stage I could take wherever I went. My fingers on my hand danced seemingly close to the speed of light with the stage light eclipsed by the musings of others.
As a child, I took air guitar, we called it shredding, quite seriously, even more so after a horrible accident in a closet with my brother. Inspired by some fresh Winger riffs our star studded dream took us into a whirlwind of uncontrollable fits until it all stopped after colliding our heads into each other. I was unconscious for hours until I awoke and my parents explained that my brother had passed away. To this day, I shred air guitar to his honor as he was probably the best air guitarist their ever was. I honestly have no idea what happened in that closet dewd, but every time I watch this, you will be by my side.
Movie Review: I had tears by the end - srsly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every now and then I get in a mood to watch a truly goofball movie, and I rented this thinking it would be one of them. And it is, I guess... at least, it started out that way. But in spite of myself I started getting really caught up and rooting for the American air-guitarists through the competition, and actually caring!
It was really rather profound to realize that although the US is the womb, birthplace, and cradle of Rock-and-Roll, there had never yet been a US contestant in the world air-guitar championships. Hard to explain how something can have you laughing one minute, and saying "Hmm...." and sniffling the next... what a roller-coaster ride. Kind of like, umm, Rock-and-Roll, I guess!
Oh, the music is the best of the best, too. I was singing and dancing for days afterward.
Anyway it has really stuck in my mind, and here I am to buy my own copy to put on my shelf of "movies I'm going to make everyone I know watch."
Movie Review: So Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this at the SXSW film festival in 2006 mainly because it was the only thing showing at the time where were at. Oh man! Am I glad I saw it! No expectations at all...and it was one of the coolest things I've seen in a theater!! So freaking funny! The whole audience was going nuts pretty much the whole time. These real live "characters" are so hilarioius and so charismatic...they really make the fillm go. Such a crazy and goofy topic, but it was an awesome experience. If you appreciate good comedy and rock music, it's a must see.Movie Review: Air Guitar You Are!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this documentary when it first appeared at a film festival. I love guitars and just about anything else that is taken to extremes. Not only is this film flat out funny, it shows you that not matter where you are in the world, the universal language is air guitar. If everyone in the world played air guitar, there would be world peace. After all, how can you hold a gun when you are holding a super cool Flying V air guitar?! This film is definitely worth adding to your collection, right next to Spinal Tap and Black Roses!Movie Review: This movie rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I caught the movie at a film festival last year. A buddy dragged me to it, and I was thinking that it was going to be another competition movie with a bunch of dorks. Well, yeah, it was a competition, and yeah, these guys are dorks, but the tension, comedy, and great music made it special treat, unlike anything I've ever seen. The crowd was literally going wild. If you want to have a good time, give this movie a try. You'll totally enjoy it...
