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.”

OK, if this film teaches us anything, it teaches us how to take a perfectly fine book and transform it into a mushy, corny, ghastly mess of the most trying kind.

RTThe PlaylistAug 15, 2013

It's an affable, inoffensive British comedy that just wants you to like it so much that you can't help but snicker behind its back.

RTLondon Evening StandardApr 20, 2012

Unfortunately, these characters belong to different worlds that don't meld, cartoonish political satire and dopey romcom.

RTDeep Focus ReviewDec 5, 2022

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.
