Thought it was brilliant!

I was nervous about this one because I've been a fan of the Runaways for 30+ years and Joan is such an icon. I honestly could not see Kristen or anyone else for that matter playing her and Dakota... little Dakota as Cherie?? I sat on the edge of my seat in the theater waiting and from the first note of Roxy Roller to the last note of Love is Pain I was completely captivated. I was brought back to my childhood and forgot that I was watching Kristen and Dakota but was seeing Joan and Cherie. They for lack of a better word were brilliant! I was pleasantly surprised also when I realized they were doing all their own singing and they weren't destroying the music... they ROCKED IT! Yes there were parts that were historically incorrect ie. there was no Robin Robinson on bass... Jackie Fox, yes... Vicky Blue, yes but no Robin but it really wasn't critical as it was more based on Joan and Cherie.
