Guitarist Lita Ford expressed dissatisfaction with the 2010 biopic The Runaways, citing it as an inaccurate representation of her band. In a recent interview, Ford criticized the film for focusing predominantly on ex-bandmate Joan Jett, stating the stories depicted were not true to reality. Although she appreciated the performance of Scout Taylor Compton, who portrayed her, Ford made clear her lack of admiration for both Joan Jett and actress Kristen Stewart. She concluded that the film wasn’t worth rewatching and believed it could have been executed differently.
I felt that The Runaways movie was all about Joan, and the stories that they told about Joan were just not accurate. They really made her to look larger than life.
I love Scout Taylor Compton. I thought she did a fantastic job playing Lita and that she's a really great person and great actress.
The movie is just kind of, for me in my book, I glanced over it when it first came out and just thought, 'Okay, I've seen it. I'm done.'
