Visionary Sheikh Muhammed bin Zaida bani Tihama (Amr Waked) believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain's leading fisheries expert, Dr. Alfred "Fred" Jones (Ewan McGregor), who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary, Patricia Maxwell (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story. Now, 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.
Leave your thoughts about Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.
| Film Journal InternationalKevin LallyEmily Blunt and Ewan McGregor make an appealing duo in this offbeat romantic comedy which unfortunately changes midstream into something darker and far less engaging. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonMore than a love story or an awakening, Hallström has given us something of beauty, depth and dimension beyond the human stories he tells. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashA great cast, some quirky humor, and a gentle romance will leave those who appreciate it feeling good by the end. |
| Orlando WeeklyWilliam GossMcGregor brings quiet grace to an otherwise routine role of mid-life malaise; matching him for effortless charm is Blunt, who gets to bear the brunt of what passes for heavy lifting around these parts... |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA terribly disappointing, habitually mediocre feature, dissolving the potential insanity of the premise to make googly eyes with two characters who shouldn't be sent down the tunnel of love. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThough toothless as satire the movie is a light,elegant, even credible romantic comedy |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanYou can have a reasonably nice time at Salmon Fishing in the Yemen if you accept that it's the tidiest movie imaginable to ever say that falling in love is like swimming upstream. |
| OregonianShawn LevyAlas, none of it, save Kristin Scott Thomas giving a peach of a performance as a political operative, smacks of real life or vitality. Even when it evinces spasms of life, this film is, more or less, a dead fish. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenAs the title more than hints, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is all about a leap of faith, and faith is exactly what this picture requires of us. Make the leap, and you'll be delighted by a movie that's sugary goodness, a guilty pleasure. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanIt is an enjoyable piece of filmmaking with a cast of very talented actors. |
