Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

On Tuesday, March 20, 2012, I went to see the movie Salmon Fishing in the Yemen featuring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristen Scott Thomas.

The movie is about Sheikh Muhammed, who wanted to bring the sport of salmon fishing to his country of Yemen.  However, to do that, he needs to enlist the help of his investing assistant, Harriett, played by Blunt.  Hariette calls upon the assistance of Dr. Alfred Jones to make the project happen.

Of course, during the development of the story, other things happen as well.  But essentially, it is about one's dream of fly fishing in Yemen.

Kristen Scott Thomas plays the character of Patricia Maxwell, who is responsible for press with the government.  She was hilarious in her role.
