Product Description

Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga, Adventureland) and Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga, Coraline) star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fuelled coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970s rock band, that paved the way for future generations of female musicians. Plucked from obscurity by rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon, Revolutionary Road), raven-haired rocker Joan, the rebellious Cherie and their band become an outrageous sensations thanks to their tough image and raw talent. But their fast, drug-fuelled lifestyle soon catches up with the teenage girls as success starts to cloud their judgments… Extras included: - Plugged In: The Making of THE RUNAWAYS - Commentary with Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad Girls 29 July 2010
By Graham Chapman TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
Another great story from the decade where music peaked (yep, no arguments, the 70's). Beautifully shot in saturated colours (like the latter part of 'Auto Focus' - another retro film about the seedy seventies worth seeing).

The story is just the usual rock follies, but the Runaways were a cool band and their music is still good to play. They get well-served by some good acting from Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and best of all Michael Shannon. Hopefully it will inspire a new generation of girl bands better than the current batch. (Probably not, though.)

Never mind, enjoy the dvd anyway. See it in a double bill with 'Foxes', an Adrian Lyne film about the same time period, with Jody Foster and the real Cherie Currie. Buy some popcorn, buy some coke (cherry flavour).

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a story
A rather bland tale of a rock and roll band. It seemed to be over before it ever got going and also appears to have missed a big chunk of the bands history. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Missed opportunity.
According to this movie, there were only two key members of The Runaways, Cherie and Joan, the others barely get a look in. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars The Runaways
The 2 lead women were excellent, but on the whole the film was boring. Went on far too long and just didnt hold my interest.
