Two London office workers find love on a Yemeni Sheikh's ambitious fishing scheme. Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt star.
Director: Lasse Hallström
Overview
Fred Jones (Ewan McGregor) is an uptight fisheries scientist who is talked into introducing Scottish salmon to the Yemen by the Sheik's London representative Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt).

A charming, witty rom-com adapted by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire).
