Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

This movie has been in my Netflix queue for over a year. Last weekend I gave up waiting and borrowed it from the library. Then a few days after I was notified that I was finally getting a copy in bluray. I don't know if it was worth waiting so long. I didn't really like the movie. The concept was promising. It was just a bit formulaic and you kinda just expect some things just based on the movie's genre. (It was billed as a romantic comedy. I didn't really find it funny.) Oh well.

One thing I don't get-- why do the Brits call it "the" Yemen?
