the runaways (2010)


"Jail-fucking-bait! Jack-fucking-pot!"
Not particularly the story of the group, but more of Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart), and in particular Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), who formed the nuclius of the all female punk group that stormed American, then shattered just as quickly.
An entertaining film, that plays the duo off of each other, in this coming of age drama, but is stolen by Michael Shannon's portrayal of the svengali like Kim Fowley.
