The result is an entertaining mess: lively and stylish, but frustratingly inconsequential.

The Runaways is cool, but the Runaways were just so much cooler.
Glenn Gamboa, Newsday
Rotten
Aside from following the cliched (if real) storyline, The Runaways is plagued by something of a split personality, thanks to its two young stars.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Excess is abundant in photographer and music-video director Floria Sigismondi's energetic debut.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

There's a flinty integrity in this movie's look at the rock grind, and Stewart and Fanning are intensely watchable.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
