When Britain's leading fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheikh's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary latches on to it as a good will story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove that the impossible is possible.

Kristin Scott Thomas stands out in her role as the UK gov press secretary ...Enjoyable, heart warming story ....don't be put off by the title there's very little actual fishing going on

In general I am not a big fan of romantic comedies but this one has some bonuses/additional elements such politics, "science versus faith" arguments, Yemen, etc. Therefore three stars and not two. But would not watch it again. The love story very boring. But Highly recommended if you are into fly fishing, for sure! A light movie.
