Lasse Hallström's charming and witty adap¬tation of Paul Torday's bestselling novel, Salmon Fishing In The Yemen. The film stars Ewan McGregor as Fred Jones, a fisheries expert and academic who works for the British government. When he's approached by Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt) with a plan to introduce salmon into the waterways of Yemen for the purpose of sport fishing, he laughs off the scheme, claim¬ing it impossible. Harriet acts as the British representative of an amiable and benevolent sheikh (Amr Waked), who fulfils his love of fishing on frequent trips to his estate in the ruggedly gorgeous Scottish highlands.

While Fred ponders the idea, the pro¬posal catches the ear of the British prime minister's spokesperson, Bridget Maxwell (Kristin Scott Thomas. Desperate to detract attention from some unwanted publicity, Bridget sees Harriet's idea as the perfect opportunity to promote what will appear to be a heart¬felt story of British goodwill in the Middle East. Despite Fred's protests, he soon finds himself working on a project that seems not only frivolous but absolutely unfeasible in the arid land of Yemen. His scepticism is matched only by the sheikh's boundless optimism. As the mission begins to suc¬ceed, Fred grows closer to Harriet. Despite the many obstacles that stand in the way of their romance, their relationship affords an unexpected and welcome sense of hope for two lonely individuals.

A genuinely fantastic film! I love Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt anyway but this film was greatly enjoyable. A unique story which makes a great plot and has fantastic acting from all actors! Has a good balance of comedy, romance and drama all rolled into one. I would definitely recommend 100%! Buy it now!

 Great film !

Took me ages to go see this film at the cinema, saw the trailers and wondered if it was my kind of film. But its a great little story.
