Female coming-of-age story with a good performance by both Stewart ( as Joan Jett) and Dakota Fanning ( as Cherie Currie) detailing the rise and fall of the '70s band The Runaways. This is a Dakota Fanning in her first real grown-up role.

.. and she really brings the goods in a more mature role as drug-addicted sexpot lead singer Currie. It's not like you haven't seen this story a hundred times on VH1's Behind the Music, but the story is so perfectly told that you need to see this film.
