A 1000 km dal Natale

It's somewhat predictable - big city misanthrope, hates Christmas and avoids it every year, gets sent to a remote mountain town to audit a nougat factory (in Spain, nougat called turròn is inextricably tied to Christmas). The town loves Christmas, of course, but he's on a short timeline to make his Caribbean vacation (avoiding spending the holiday with his mother, naturally). Tropes abound, but the cast is very good and carry their roles well (especially the sugary Christmas-loving townsfolk). It's different from the North American Christmas films that obviously inspired its making. Distinctly Spanish in the Christmas details. I am adding it to my holiday viewing roster, for sure.

This movie is nothing but a Xmas one, is very well option for the season, all the ingredients for a comedy under snow, songs, trees, deers, and all Xmas related. If you enjoy of the typical movie for the Xmas, this one is for you, it has all.

As an ex-auditor, I was intrigued by the description of the movie. It was so much fun to watch and so different from the usual Christmas movies. Really enjoyed this, 10 out of 10!

If you are nostalgic for the comedy of earlier years you'll enjoy this one. This more physical comedy keeps us surprised and laughing, and thank you to the Spanish for keeping pure comedy and romance in our lives (something the American cinema used to do).

A normal Christmas movie with a very banal moral but very sweet even if perhaps at times a bit annoying and not very entertaining. Ultimately, however, the film is great to watch with the family because it is sweet and light.
