From NBetFlix:
A sheik with a love for the sport hopes to introduce fly-fishing to the Middle East and turns to uptight fisheries expert Fred Jones for help. Buoyed by the sheik’s enthusiasm (and his comely English aide), Fred sets out to achieve the impossible.
Ewan McGregor does it again. Somewhat of a rarity these days, this film is a feel-good that the entire family can watch. Good plot, good acting, good romance, good humor: what’s not to like?
Kristin Scott Thomas is perfect as a hard-nosed, ambitious, ruthless, and vulgar governmental communications maven.
Emily Blunt portrays Harriet well as a young woman caught between two loves.
Ewan McGregor carries off the role of a fishing geek (possibly with Asperger’s, but that is not completely clear) who agrees to try the impossible and bring salmon fishing to a desert.
Even though there is no sex and violence, DO NOT MISS!
“Salmon Fishing” has a good concept, but I felt it dragged on a little too long. Are British political wonks becoming as abrasive as their US counterparts? That lady was a real reprobate.
