Review of The Runaways (2010) by Peter S — 18 Feb 2017
A straightforward biopic of the runaways, and that's what makes it succeed. The cast is top notch, I got nervous when I saw Kristen Stewart was in the cast, but she was actually a great choice for Joan Jett.
Like with a lot of movies I've seen that have a lot of music in them, this is a film you don't want to end. Yes, it's short. Yes, it's less in-depth than it probably should be. Yes, every famous Joan Jett song is in here except I hate myself for loving you, which even if you don't like rock music, you can relate to in so many different ways.
I know I can. With a great cast and even better music, this is a film you can't turn down. It may even be better than rock of ages, which is saying something.
