A fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheik's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible possible.

Not the most exciting of film names, and some of the trailers I have seen for this film leave you wondering what this film is about - and I don't mean the salmon fishing, I'm not that dumb.

For a week where Battleships is number one everywhere (may the gods help us) we were quite surprised to find this film in Screen 1 at our local Cineworld. The screen was actually quite full, and once everyone had got settled in their correct seats (it still amazes me how many people sit in the wrong seats in a Cinema that always allocates seating), we settled in to watch.

Whilst the film is mainly about the 10,000 salmon getting moved from British waters to The Yemen, the story between Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt's characters is at some points hilarious, others quite sad and other times just "nice".

I'm not great at writing, and I am hoping to improve as I write more of these reviews - so I will leave it here: The film is really good and I would recommend you see it - you don't need to know about fishing.

My Score: 7/10
