Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor in "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen."

This article and the one below both revolve around fish stories of a sort.  While “Ruggles of Red Gap” is a “fish out of water” story, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” is also a “fish” story, albeit one that is actually motivated by salmon.

“Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” is a multiplex film that a. did not destroy my hearing with over zealous sound effects and b. had interesting characters and told a completely enjoyable tale.  “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” is a romantic comedy ab0ut media manipulation that stretches credibility but never to the point of going over board.
