Salmon Fishing in Yemen

The best film so far is “Salmon Fishing in Yemen.” The 1100 seat auditorium was sold out this time for a delightful comedy starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt. It’s a tale of a benevolent sheik hoping to bring salmon to a river in his homeland. His enthusiasm [and wealth] convince his financial advisor [Blunt] and a tweedy Ministry of Fisheries geek [McGregor] to come along for the ride. The movie is almost stolen from under their feet by the brilliantly bitchy performance of Kristin Scott-Thomas as the Prime Minister’s PR director. She had me doubled over whenever she was on the screen. Save for a bit of sex and the frequent use of the “F” word [by KS-T] this is a movie for anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a wonderfully quirky tale.
