Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Description
The comedy film revolves around a bunch of ridiculous situations where a Scottish fish expert gets a query from the financial agent of the Yemeni sheikh who started an irrigation project in his homeland and wants to live a river with salmon. The world rejects the idea, but the prime minister needs a story inspired by the Arabian Peninsula, and his press secretary, who calculates that there are possibilities in the salmon. The charming sheikh, his beautiful financial representative can not be overlooked, and Fred, the world, is exposed to possibilities while his wife is in a six-week project in Geneva. Adds a unique lack of social precision, the fate of the soldier, and the Sheikh's adversaries to the complexities.

Everything that happens is horribly predictable, and the tone varies from light and fluffy to over-the-top camp, especially with Kristin Scott Thomas as the cynical British press secretary.March 22, 2012
A charming little movie.

Only Scott Thomas, biting off all her sentences like a piranha, rescues "Salmon Fishing" from being a by-the-numbers romantic comedy; you wish the redoubtable Ms. Maxwell had her own movie.September 15, 2012
As it stands, the best elements of the film become mired in the unwelcome narrative muck, branding Salmon Fishing in the Yemen the one that got away.June 02, 2013
To say this movie requires an utter suspension of disbelief is a vast understatement.August 15, 2013
It's an affable, inoffensive British comedy that just wants you to like it so much that you can't help but snicker behind its back.March 29, 2012
Hallstrom shores up his film with a terrific cast that can often make up for the parts that sag under the uneven weight of preciousness.April 21, 2013
... just because something seems absurd doesn't mean it can't happen. And just because a film seems to lack surprises doesn't mean it won't take an entirely satisfying turn at the end.March 23, 2012
It's an engaging love story that should appeal to moviegoers with a flair for the offbeat.March 22, 2012
While "Salmon Fishing" fritters away the comic momentum of its madcap opening chapters, it's like angling -- a pleasant diversion if you can look below the surface and muster the patience to appreciate it.April 17, 2012
The stars are endearing enough to keep things tolerable, though you may wonder why even McGregor's Scots brogue sounds artificially sweetened here.July 01, 2016
Hallström's made a wonderful film about the power of faith. Flyfishing in a manufactured trout stream in the middle of the desert is a faith-based activity, declares the sheik who built it.
