Description:A Sheikh from Yemen who loves fishing contacts the British government about getting salmon transported to a river in his country. His English agent Harriet (Emily Blunt) works with fishing expert Dr. Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor) who is at first very reluctant. But the sheikh, the project and especially Harriet grow on him until he buys into the project completely. Terrorists opposed to the project attempt to sabotage it, but the fish survive and Jones dumps his wife for Harriet and a life in Yemen.

Review - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Disturbing on some levels, but overall enjoyable. The cavalier way Jones ends his marriage was flat wrong. I thought Blunt did an excellent job with her character. There were some chuckles throughout.
