5 sentence review of "The Runaways"

5. IMDB says "The Runaways" is 1 hour, 45 minutes long.

4. A ticket will cost you about $8 in my native Des Moines.

3. Amazon.com says the running time of "The Best of The Runaways" CD is 42 minutes, 30 seconds.

2. It costs about $8.50.

1. Despite the increased cost and decreased running time, the music would be the better entertainment value than the tepid, brooding and joyless biopic about the 1970s all-girl experiment that ushered in the age of manufactured corporate bands, sexpot jail bait singers and drug-addled train wrecks.
