The Runaways


The movie Runaways was about a real teenage all-girl rock band of the 1970s. The show mainly follow the lives of Joan Jett and Cherrie Currie. Kristen Stewart played Joan while Dakota Fanning played Cherrie.

I watched it and Kristen was really foul-mouthed in the movie. She kept saying the F bomb every few minutes. I watched it on DVD so it wasn't censored and imagine every sentence is followed by F***! She's soo far fetched from that Bella Swan in Twilight.

Dakota, on the other hand, was so matured in this movie. Hey, I thought I last saw her screaming in War of the Worlds where Tom Cruise was carrying her as his child? What happened to that little girl? All grown up, dressed scantily and kissing another girl!

Yes, Kristen and Dakota shared a kiss, not only once! There were drugs, alcohols and all sorts of stuffs people do back in the days portrayed very well in this movie. Kristen and Dakota really sang for this movie and my favourite has to be the 'Cherry Bomb' song!

I haven't heard of The Runaways until this movie. Although I have heard of Joan Jett before. If you were to compare that picture and the movie poster above, you would realise that Kristen is a spitting image of Joan(the one with the guitar) and Dakota is like Cherrie's(centre) twin sister. The movie people found the right actresses that looked almost exactly like the original band.

This movie is not really my cup of tea. But if you would like to see what happens when rock bands tour like the so called behind-the-scenes, this movie shows it all and doesn't cut back.
