A Yemeni sheik dreams of bringing his favorite sport to his home country believing that salmon will add to the diversity of his desert home. And he's willing to put his oil money where his dreams are. But Britain's leading fishery expert is not convinced. It takes the British Prime Minister's press secretary desiring a good news story to force the project to happen.
The story's full of wry British humor and just a bit of romance as well. One thing I learned is never make assumptions until you know the whole story and dream big.
The film was definitely worth the price of a matinee. I'm not sure I'll purchase the DVD or not. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but I don't know if either my husband or I need to see it again to remember it.
