Although I don't think it's widely acclaimed, I chose this movie simply because it had two of my favorite actor and actress- Ewan Mcgregor and Emily blunt. It's a British romantic comedy about a rich sheikh attempting to build a salmon fishing port in Yemen. The plot itself is simple and quite straightforward (a bit predictable, actually). But the characters in the movie are so adorable and the movie tone so pleasant that I would describe the movie as being 'lovely'. There's something original and calm about the tone of the movie, and Ewan Mcgregor's portrayal of a idiosyncratic professor is successful. He pulls it off with a charming and sexy Scottish accent.
