Just watched the movie "The Runaways". I've always been a fan of the music of Joan Jett and especially Lita Ford. After seeing the movie, I have this to say about it - What the hell kind of crap was that?
Although it is supposed to be outlining the history of "The Runaways", it is actually focusing on Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, and their homosexual and drug abuse experiences. Lita Ford has 2-3 lines in the entire movie and is presented as just a background musician. Even at the end of the movie, the credits talk about the careers of Currie, Jett, the manager of the band...the rest of the band are not even mentioned.
I bet Lita Ford is pissed!
As a movie, it sucked big time - plot was too vague and jumped a lot, the acting was terrible. The movie relied solely on the images of teenage girls with guitars jumping around in their underwear (there is plenty of scenes like that). The only people who would like this movie are perverts.
One good thing that I liked was that they referenced Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple. That's about it.
