Editorial Reviews

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fueled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970's rock band. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, Apparition will release the film on March 19, 2010.

Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself-and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock' n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.

Soundtrack features classic music from The Runaways, plus Runaways songs performed by Dakota Fanning & Kristen Stewart. Also, music from Joan Jett, David Bowie, The Stooges, MC5 and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Runaways Fans! May 14, 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, much to my horror, the movie does not seem to be destined to win any Oscars, but if you saw it, well then, you KNOW why I ran home from seeing the movie (on opening weekend!) and ordered it from Amazon ASAP. Some people might be a little turned off by Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning's versions being included, but you know what? I think it's really interesting to hear the difference between them and Cherie and Joan. I like to play a little game with this CD : I drive along, listening, and I try to guess if it's the actresses or the real Runaways!
Another crazy delicious surprise is Roxy Roller by Nick Gilder. Remember him from his awful "Hot Child in the City" song?! ICK! But check out "Roxy Roller"! WOW! Not to mention Iggy Pop, Bowie, and the fabulous Suzi Quatro!
Can you tell I LOVE IT?!

4.0 out of 5 stars What a Jip! March 26, 2010
Format:Audio CD
The soundtrack is quite good, except they left out "I Love Playin' With Fire" with Kristen Stewart on vocals. One of my favorite songs and scenes from the movie. I'm disappointed about that to say the least.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great songs spoiled by LOUD remastering March 26, 2010
Format:Audio CD
Why are CDs mixed so loud these days? I just wish the producers of this CD had shown some restraint. The mix is so lound -- particularly on "Roxy Roller" -- that the bass and drums are distorted. Too bad because otherwise this is a great collection of songs. Even the Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart re-recordings are really enjoyable!

The Runaways film: No Lita Ford?
I thought the same thing, and bought the millinium collection which has one song "Neon Angel" written by Lita Ford, and Cherie Curie and Joan Jett are noticably bringing the goods, singing in a higher range. Its one of the best tracks. However, looking back in my aged memory, Lita's... Read more
