Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012) by Grant S — 01 Dec 2013
Meh. Starts faltering, treading a fine line between quirkily amusing and nerdily dull. Just when it seems like quirkily amusing may just win out, it all just falls apart with some silly contrivances. Very silly and disappointing ending.
Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt are dull, but that's what is required for their characters. Kristin Scott-Thomas is probably the pick of the performances, as the cynical, always-thinking-of-an-angle PM's PR person.
