Movie Haiku:Wealthy Sheikh (Waked) has a vision of green in his desert homeland, so he hires PR pro "Harriet" & fish scholar "Alfred" to make it so. Superior dramedy covers all the bases with KST providing the laughs as the British PM''s scene-stealing Press Secretary. Bittersweet ending for the post-9/11 world: we fight terrorism best by keeping faith in the future.
