Overview
Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, two rebellious teenagers from Southern California, become the frontwomen for The Runaways—the now-legendary group that paved the way for future generations of female rockers. Under the Svengali-like influence of impresario Kim Fowley, the band becomes a huge success.

Viewing Notes
Headed out for the early screening of Floria Sigismondi’s The Runaways (2010) at Village Crossing. Lots to love in this film besides the dead-on 70s look & feel. Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning are quite good. Also Michael Shannon & Riley Keough were great. Only real disappointment was the lack of any characterization or story around Lita Ford, who I’ve always considered 2nd best legacy from The Runaways.
