Reviews
"When C-Diddy (a.k.a. David Jung), in his samurai superman suit, does his note-perfect, lip-twisting, belly-jiggling manic mime of Extreme's ''Play With Me,'' it's hard not to grin and admit that, yes, this is almost an art form."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"My long strums are pretty f---ing tight,"
- Rob Nelson, Village Voice
"I don't know whether to call it interpretive dance for dudes or performance art or just a highly developed form of wanking. Who cares? It seriously rocks."
- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
"The nutty thing is, by the end of this jolly, oddly compelling and genuinely suspenseful documentary, the ridiculousness of such notions seems open to genuine debate."
- David Ansen, Newsweek
"Flat out, Air Guitar Nation (winner of the Audience Award at South by Southwest 06) is a damn good time."
- Toddy Burton, Austin Chronicle
