    loved it

    by ccwik

    I saw The Runaways when it premiered at Sundance this year! It was amazing, I loved every minute of it! If you've never heard of The Runaways i still recommend seeing this movie. it's bad*** in every way. It makes me want to go out and start an all girls rock band! Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have transformed into Joan Jett and Cherie Currie! The movie is humorous, intense, enlightening and inspiring! Floria Sigismondi does an amazing job as a director and worked very hard on this film and it shows. Everyone should see this movie!

    Tough Girls Perservere

    Loved this movie and learned alot about the growing up and lives of Joan and Cheri. Just showed once again how woman have been shut down and told they couldn't do something in what WAS a man's world, this time Rock-n-Roll but Joan Jett proved them all wrong that chicks can play electric guitar and go on to be wildly successful!

    Only thing I would have liked Joan (Producer!) was to also have seen what happened to the drummer and Lita Ford after the band split up. Well we know that Lita went on to have a somewhat successful career but you failed to mention that. Was there some bad vibes amongst you gals or what????

    Think this is definitely a movie that girls will appreciate more than the guys though as the guys that came to see it with us were not as impressed as us ladies were!
