Wednesday Movie Night: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011)

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen mainly drew me because I thought it would be very nature filled and perhaps maybe inspiring. While the acting is good, and the chemistry between the leads is there, something about the movie runs a little dull at times. I never can quite leap onto caring about where this movie is going. I do care about the romance though, and the development with that. Despite unable to make the Sheiks endeavors inspiring they at least made us concerned about hte personal lives of the people involved.

Summary: The British government needs something to redeem their image in the eyes of the public, and they seem to be at a loss until a Sheik seems to be looking for someone to enlist to help him improve the lives of his people in the Yemen. He thinks if he can brings Salmon to the area that it will not only give the locals a water resource but food. Harriet is put on the assignment and seeks out Captain Robert, who is a fishing expert, to help her plan how it would be possible to bring fish and water there. He believes the plan is impossible, but his growing feelings for Harriet encourage him on with the plan.
