so-so

Though I love The Runaways very much, I didn't like this film. No Joan Jett & the lack of Runaways music definitely hurt. All you get is a pretty shitty cover of Sweet Jane & then Wild Thing. The film itself is well made but the score sucks. Kim Fowley comes across as the sleazy creep we all knew he is (gotta love a guy who can refer to a 14 year old girl as "dog s**t" or "dog c**t" oh wait a minute no not all actually), and Lita Ford keeps repeating herself. ("It all went back to that first phone call from Kim".) But then again, she's kind of lame anyway. Worth checking out, but only if you're interested in The Runaways. Not one of the great "rock 'n' roll" movies like Don't Look Back, Hard Days Night or End of the Century or something.
