Funny how even when you don’t know quite what to expect you can still come away disappointed. Years ago a friend brought me to a state of appreciation for the work of Joan Jett, but I never knew that much about her first band, The Runaways. If they were really this vapid, it’s a miracle they ever managed to produce anything worth listening to. However, the subjects themselves may not be to blame. The movie seems to have no greater ambition than showcasing Kristen “Twilight” Stewart and Dakota Fanning doing drugs and prancing around in their underwear. Thus the picture’s only undoubted success was getting “Cherry Bomb” stuck in my head. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
