This raucously entertaining documentary about one of the silliest competitions on the planet actually has a serious message about the power of "airness" to change the world. Well, maybe.

There must be better, more useful ways of amusing themselves but obviously none which would allow them to strut the stage to the plaudits of a baying crowd like latter-day rock stars.

A gloriously insane journey into the weirder reaches of rock, Air Guitar Nation is a funny, funky and oddly moving burst of lively factual entertainment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2007

Shot in a raw, grungy style that lends the film a degree of authenticity, AGN is a riff-roaring experience that rarely hits a bum note.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2007

you will be entertained even if, in rock'n' roll terms, it's less satanic metal than cutesy chart pop.

When a documentary compels you to care about something that you didn't think you had any interest in, well... that rocks!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 20, 2007

Air Guitar Nation is a very well-made film and it tells its story at a quick, even pace, but you really need to suspend your disbelief if you're going to allow this film to fully wrap you in its charms.
