Comment
In order to get a good news story the government backs a project to create an artificial salmon fishing river in the Yemen. Ewan McGregor is the fisheries expert and Emily Blunt is the consultant employed by the sheik to oversee the project and Kristin Scott Thomas is the government PR person. This is a great romantic comedy set against a background of a tongue in cheek project. There are good performances from both Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas enjoying herself as the PR person.
