I saw Marigold at a preview showing a few days ago, and found it to be a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable film. The film is about a not-so-successful American actress who goes to India to act in a low budget... Read more at imdb.com

The first quarter of the film is spent in demonstrating the flaws in Marigold, the character. The movie drags to such an extent that the threshold of elasticity is lost. Marigold (Ali Larter) is a self-absorbed girl with a very bad temper. ... Full Review

At the end of it all, "Marigold" isn't such a bad film.
