Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Description

Dr. Alfred Jones is a self described suburban skeptic who just happens to have a vast knowledge about fish, especially salmon. So when a Middle East Sheik who is passionate about fly fishing for salmon brings up his dream of making that dream come true in the dry deserts of the Middle East, he goes to Jones for help. What sounds like an outlandish request is actually doable with dams and lots of financial backing (which the Sheik definitely has in abundance). Director Lasse Hallström (Water for Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) goes a bit overboard with the clichéd "swimming against the time" but the film is well worth watching.tarring Ewan McGregor (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Angels & Demons) as Dr. Alfred Jones, Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Gulliver's Travels) is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot a management consultant for the salmon fishing enthusiastic Sheik, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Confessions of a Shopaholic) plays Bridgett Maxwell. There wasn't any bridging of diplomatic relations during the filming of this movie, just an entertaining story well acted out.
