From the pics I've seen though, Kristen Stewart looks cute as Joan Jett.

I don't understand why it should be funny. They may not have been a massive hit in the U.S, but they sold out plenty of shows and were huge in other countries. They were well-respected and they opened for acts like Tom Petty, The Ramones, and formed alliances with Blondie and many UK punk bands. For bunch of teenage girls rocking it the 1970's, I'd say they were pretty awesome.
I can't wait for this film. It's based on Cherie Curry's biography, so it'll be very Dakota Fanning heavy. Dakota sounds pretty cool as Cherie, and I'm looking forward to more of the music they'll perform in the film. Should be interesting to see how they sound. Kristen Stewart looks similar to Joan Jett, but I'm not sure she can pull it off. I don't really like her much as an actress, but hope she can do a worthy job.
