Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Harajuku lovers will get a kick out of Japanese box-office smash Nana, a very kawaii celebration of girl power based on a popular manga about two 20-year-olds who share the same first name.
Despite the gritty urban setting, there are episodes of Gilmore Girls that have more 'edge.'
