Absurb premise has movie-believability and nice chemistry
15 September 2013
Sheikh Muhammed (Amr Waked) with unlimited resources wants to bring the sport of salmon fishing to the desert. It sounds really stupid, and the characters all know it. Sparing no expense, his representative Harriet (Emily Blunt) has to turn his dream into reality. That's when she contacts government fisheries expert Dr. Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor) to study its feasibility. Of course, he is beyond awestruck.

This is a really likable British rom-com. At first glance, it's a stupid premise, but they actually worked it through to a point of movie believability. And it's fitting for a movie rom-com, because the chemistry between Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor also has movie believability. It's a fine piece of rom-com.
