Long-winded, jokingly self-deprecating, and clichéd.
It's Easier for a Camel...(Il est plus facile pour un chameau...)

As a little girl, Federica fantasized about having beautiful long hair that would grow back as soon as she cut it, about never-ending cones of cotton candy and about countless adventures that took her to the far side of the world. Now a charming thirty-something-single woman, Federica's fantasies have evolved, adding lovers, stardom, and motherhood to her waking dreams, where Federica continues to press for her everyday life to be as real as the fantasies that invade her. Unfortunately, Federica's daydreams can only provide a meager distraction from the reality she faces. Her career as a successful playwright is heading south, her boyfriend is pressuring her to start a family, a former lover wishes to rekindle an old affair, her sister is barely talking to her, her brother is self-centered and her loving father is terminally ill. And as if to make matters worse, Federica is rich, too rich, and the guilt that consumes her because of it is pushing her over the edge.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Charming self-made vehicle.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
A diverting dramatic comedy.
Fantasy sequences, including animation, keep the melancholy tone from overwhelming the proceedings.
Overlong and heavy-handed.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
It's ultimately hard to care deeply about a silly, sheltered girl-woman who's taking an inordinately long time to learn that money can't buy happiness.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
The contrast of the naive assurance of youth with the confusion and ambiguity of adulthood is sweet but simplistic and the wandering script hasn't much else to offer.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
The kind of exercise in semi-autobiographical reflection that is almost impossible to carry off without its seeming self-absorbed.
