April 10."The Runaways" was completely underwhelming. The first quarter of the movie, about the 70s all-girl rock band, was promising. But the story and bad acting (by Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie) weighed the too-long story down.
I wanted so much to care about how the girls turned out but couldn't. Stewart did look a lot like Jett, but that wasn't enough to keep me interested. Fanning is probably a better actress but I cared even less about Currie's story. And, the film focused on her too much.
The only good part of the movie was the ridiculous hair, makeup, and clothes worn by everyone, especially band-manager, Kim Fowley (played by Michael Shannon). He had a different crazy look in every scene.
