Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) - BAD MOVIE
It all started off as a good idea - a love story, a daft scientist, a
gentle, but crazy project... But, where did it go wrong? Well, the story is a mish-mash, it tries to be
romantic, it tries to be funny and somehow these get in the way of each
other. Situations are set up and then there is a twist. Over and over
again. Very few things happen that are not predictable. Westerners and the Arab elite
have been portrayed as far superior to the ignorant masses, despite the
fact the country belongs to these masses and let's not forget the
fate visited on the poor fish in this story, which by the way was not
believable. I read somewhere that the book was a satire; sadly, this
movie is a failed rom-com.
