Salmon Fishing In The Yemen


When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh's (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

This was a cutesy movie.  There really isn't much more to say about it than that.  Emily Blunt is totally enjoyable as always.  You believe in the chemistry that she has with Ewan McGregor.  And the story is paced well enough that I wasn't spending more time looking at my watch than at the screen.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.  It's not a must see by any means and you could honestly wait for cable.  The only real sell in this is Emily Blunt, who is right behind Emma Stone as far as actresses that I really enjoy in whatever they are in.
