Tudo Menos Natal

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.

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.

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).

Really nice film! Very funny, attractive and sweet! Much much better than your average Hallmark-production ...Tamar Novas plays his part really well... he is many times hilariously funny when screaming during his slapstick scenes, while being a bit nerdy with a big wardrobe full of the best cosy jumpers (sweaters) and red snow boots with fur. But at the same time the main character is sweet, masculine and a true romantic lead. '1000 miles (kilometers) from Christmas' also has many references to classic American Christmas films. 10 out of 10 for me. This is how you should make a Christmas film.
