Teenages allowed
It was a really good movie about how The Runaways started and how iconic they were. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are excelent in this movies. There are many scenes involoving drugs but nothing that a teenager could not handle. There is one scene where you can see people having sex but you can not see any body parts, this scene only lasts for 5 seconds and should not be the reason you do not see the movie

Perfect for mature teens.
Personally I really liked this movie. I love Joan Jett's music and have been really wanting to see this movie for a long time. I say if your kids very mature and can handle things like lesbian kissing drugs language and alcohol then they are probably old enough to see it. You shouldn't have to make your kids fast forward threw the "bad parts" if you feel there mature enough. If you feel that your kid should fast forward thew those parts then they are probably not mature enough to see it.

Be careful..
I rented the movie, thinking it'd be really great. But i found it full of scenes,that personally i really didn't wanna see ( rough language , adult scenes taking place with teens ..drugs ..ect) If you trust your kid to fast forward past all the "iffy"situations , then yes it's a good movie. And trust me,there will be a lot of fast forwarding,but it also shows things like how friendships grow apart..Drugs can destroy your life,dreams, friendships , career ..everything. And that sometimes being outside the box (different ,standing out..ect) Is totally fine. Being yourself,No matter what is a great thing. But the drug use,language and sexual content.Really took away from it, but yet it probably wouldn't have had the same meaning without. I'd say if you trust your teen,then yes it's a fine movie. If not, i'd be very careful. One more thing..The music is AWESOME! Seriously.. :)

GREAT movie... for mature audience!
I loved this movie! The movie showed the great story of The Runaways! There are some intense scenes of drugs and alcohol, and some sexual scenes. I felt mature enough to see this movie, but anyone younger than me might want to stay away from it, especially any younger teens wanting to see a movie with their favorite Twilight characters. This is NOT a movie about the inecent Twilight characters. The young actresses also are very sexually attracted to eachother and older guys. The language was pretty bad and the whole message was not that possitive, BUT this is an amazing movie and very real as to how Joan and Cherie's lives were, along with the rest of society back in the mid 1970s.

the runaways
i LOVED this movie, mainly becuase kstew was in it, and i have LOVED joan jett's music for a long time!!!! WARNING: a lot of cussing, sexual content (between girls), and nudity (mostly girls). the lesbian scenes were awkward at first, but eventually i got used to them, there are just a lot of things in this movie that i would not recommend people under the age of 16 to be watching. well, you were WARNED!!!!

Teens and adults only.
I love this movie, after watching I died my hair black, Kristen looked great. I limit it to 13 because of the drug use and sexual themes, teenagers only on this one.

Lots of sex, drug use, and profanity. Teen actresses are sexualized and parade about in their underwear. Well-made biopic but all a little gratuitous, even if it really happened.

For VERY mature early teens, teenagers, and adults
I'm not gonna lie, 12 is the age I saw it, but I love the band so much. Not the Kristen/Dakota version on the songs, but the real '70s music. I know at least 50 of their songs, and have done research and saw "Edgeplay". They are my favorite band ever, even more than the Ramones. The movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but I had high expectations. You/your child must be mature to see this. If you have to fast forward through the scenes with drugs/sex, they shouldn't see the movie at all. I felt mature enough to see it, and, I'll admit, I was freaked out at first, but I realized it's only bad if you haven't sat down and thought about life before you've seen it. A mature 13 or maybe 12 year old who wont be influenced and understands things should be okay seeing it. A girl starts her period(blood is shown), people have sex(it is shown once or twice), about 75 droppings of the f-bomb, and references to "private parts". Ciggs, girls inhaling things out of a bag, pills, cocaine, and other drugs are used by teens. However, the girls show sexist people that girls can rock.

Its All About Trust
I think if you trust your child, then the age is limitless, can you trust your child to fast-foward through the "Iffy Stuff"? If so, no harm is done! :-)
