5 stars

In short, this film is America's first time entering the World Air Guitar Championships in Oulu, Finland. Although this is a documentary, there are generic elements of the narrative which make it seem fictional. For example, the rivalry beteeen contestants, the hardships, the romance and the out-casts all made it seem like you were watching a comedy. (Which wasn't helped by the outrageous subject of playing guitar-without a guitar). Nevertheless, it was really entertaining, whilst you can really become attached to the main characters. Great music too. Five stars.
