Remember cute little Dakota Fanning as Tom Cruise's daughter in "War of the Worlds"? She had been the precocious child in so many films that Amy Poehler used to impersonate her as a comic character on SNL.

Now that she is in her awkward teen years, which usually kill child actors, we have her in "The Runaways" portraying the lead of the story, Cherie Currie. Seeing her in lingerie, grinding onstage or doing the whole sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle is a little tough given her sweet little girl roles previously. So we have some real painful scenes here although she does manage her way through it, Kristen Stewart does a bit better as Joan Jett capturing her rough body language and attitude.

The casting of these two women who have to work against their innocent reputations is deliberate in this tale of the tough road to female empowerment.

The Runaways, the film about the rise of teenaged femme rockers Joan Jett and Cherie (Bomb) Currie, is a political act. It is also rock history. And it is a rebellious, comi-tragic drama loaded with sexual energy and ass-kicking I Love Rock 'n' Roll music.

"This is not about women's lib," Runaways manager Kim Fowley growls as he goads the girls into being real rockers, "this is about women's libidos!"

The Italian-born, Canadian-raised director of The Runaways gets it. "Speaking with Joan about that stuff," says Floria Sigismondi, "she really wanted to own her sexuality. At the time (1975, when The Runaways were created in Los Angeles) girls didn't really do that. So, for her, it was very important to show what was going on in her life. She just wanted to shine a light on what her life was like and what other kids were doing. So that was really the politics behind that."

As a film, The Runaways made its debut this week on DVD and Blu-ray. Each is a single-disc edition with interesting, if limited extras. The main attraction is a commentary combining the still-rockin' Jett with actress Kristen Stewart, who plays her, and Dakota Fanning, who plays her then-lover and bandmate Currie. Sigismondi's feature film debut is based on Currie's biography, Neon Angel, which the director adapted.
