Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011)
A delightful and at times quirky British comedy drama about a Middle Eastern Prince's scheme to introduce Scottish salmon to the Yemen.
Beautifully acted by Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Amr Waked, with a scene stealing performance from Kristen Scott Thomas as the prime minister's press secretary, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is fun satirical look at government policy mixed in with a romantic sub plot which comes to the fore in the final third.
Anyone who like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and films of that ilk are sure to enjoy this. Forget zombies and serial killers. Fishing is where it's at.
