Quirky and a little reserved, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is nonetheless a charming little romantic drama sold by some strong central performances.

Unfortunately, these characters belong to different worlds that don't meld, cartoonish political satire and dopey romcom. Apr 20, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The weakest part of this film is the ferocious government PR chief, played by Kristin Scott Thomas, with much lip-pursing and eye-rolling, but nothing funny or believable in the script for her to say. Apr 19, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The stars are endearing enough to keep things tolerable, though you may wonder why even McGregor's Scots brogue sounds artificially sweetened here. Apr 17, 2012 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Hallstrom and Beaufoy have no great pretensions. They're out to deliver a feelgood film, but it's a very classy one. Apr 4, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

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. Mar 29, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Blunt, who is so bloody charming in everything she does, and McGregor do have nice chemistry, but the romantic arc is so predictable. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review…

OK, if this film teaches us anything, it teaches us how to take a perfectly fine book and transform it into a mushy, corny, ghastly mess of the most trying kind. Aug 31, 2018 | Full Review…

More than a love story or an awakening, Hallström has given us something of beauty, depth and dimension beyond the human stories he tells. Sep 18, 2017 | Full Review…

You may be turned off by the film's long and artless title, but after taking in this exquisitely restrained romance between man and woman, man and nature, the known and the unknown, you'd be hard pressed to find a title as earnest and true as the film itself.

Yet another feel-good movie, Scott-Thomas should have featured in it more as she was hilarious.
Unusual story about two people are put together because of an ambitious project of fly fishing in the desert. Good cast.
Really nice movie! Enjoyable. Sweet. Funny. Good acting from a notable British cast. Although I am not so sure about the plausibility of their venture, I really enjoyed their interactions. Kristin Scott Thomas's role was hilarious! I also appreciated the courtesy that each player showed for the others' culture. It was sweet, sensitive, and promoted the "against all odds" idea. Nicely done!
