Critics Consensus: Quirky and a little reserved, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is nonetheless a charming little romantic drama sold by some strong central performances.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Enjoyable even with its flaws, of which there are many, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen has enough of a sweet romance to earn a mild recommendation.

“Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” has charm, a lot of heart, and some really good laughs.

Battleship Pretension

Jack Fleischer

Based on the popular epistolary novel of the same name, this is not a political documentary, but rather a light, British, romantic comedy...

Joanne Laurier

So corseted is the film by a false political reality, that even its instances of light-hearted humor-and the charm of its cast-are difficult to swallow.

If you've a soft spot for romantic comedies you'll fall hook, line and sinker for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.
