Dr. Alfred Jones is a self described suburban skeptic who just happens to have a vast knowledge about fish, especially salmon. So when a Middle East Sheik who is passionate about fly fishing for salmon brings up his dream of making that dream come true in the dry deserts of the Middle East, he goes to Jones for help. What sounds like an outlandish request is actually doable with dams and lots of financial backing (which the Sheik definitely has in abundance). Director Lasse Hallström (Water for Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) goes a bit overboard with the clichéd "swimming against the time" but the film is well worth watching.tarring Ewan McGregor (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Angels & Demons) as Dr. Alfred Jones, Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Gulliver's Travels) is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot a management consultant for the salmon fishing enthusiastic Sheik, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Confessions of a Shopaholic) plays Bridgett Maxwell. There wasn't any bridging of diplomatic relations during the filming of this movie, just an entertaining story well acted out.

The latest Jennifer Lopez/Cameron Diaz movie is all about those who may "suffer the many joys of childbirth" and all the rewards that can bring to an individual or couple. With back stories ranging from the woman who has adopted her baby from abroad because of difficulty conceiving to another who is a successful author with rather militant ideas regarding motherhood up until she herself becomes pregnant, we see an assortment of emotional responses to what comes naturally for most parents. Based on a series of popular pregnancy guides (nearly 5 million copies sold) the five couples depicted in this comedy drama each have their own story to relate. illed with stars and lots of subplots, we follow along as emotional outbursts due to hormones, nervous dads, and lots of tiny babies reenact the stories found in those 1980's pregnancy guides with the same title as the 2012 film. Starring Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Chris Rock the premise of a celebrity dance competition is part of the film combined with competitive food truck ownership seems to add to the confusion yet this is a quick paced and well acted movie that should please most viewers.
