Win Passes to a Screening of The Runaways!

The highly anticipated (especially in our community!) release of “The Runaways” is almost here and Cherry Grrl is giving away a pair of passes to a March 17th NYC screening to one of our lucky readers!

To enter to win this contest visit us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/cherrygrrl)  and re-tweet this contest announcement. Be sure to include @CherryGrrl and #CGRunaways in your tweet.  On Tuesday 3/16 we will randomly choose a winner from among our Twitter followers who tweeted this announcement and give fans the chance to check out Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in this music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways.

The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie’s tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.

“The Runaways” opens in theaters on March 17th.  Follow Cherry Grrl on Twitter at http://twitter.com/cherrygrrl.
