Marigold - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2007 and running  110 minutes,this is another Hollywood meets  Bollywood and when done right makes interesting cinema because there are real differences between Indian and US customs and attitudes unlike say French or Canadian or even Australian.
It's interesting to see Ali Larter as Marigold Lexton ,a typical "B"type blond actress type,try to survive in India after a job she thought she had falls through.Larter shows she is a pretty good actress as this script is kinda lame but again it seems Indian script are much more sort of reach for the stars fantasies than america down and gritty story lines.
I liked it but had to take 2 stars off for the "out there"story.Below is the storyline from IMDB and the trailer URL follows the pix. View at least once for a change of the run of the mill films out there.

Marigold is a musical romantic comedy about a young American woman who travels to India and finds her life is transformed in the most unexpected ways by her experiences and adventures there.
Beautiful, American B-actress Marigold Lexton (Ali Larter), star of innumerable movies with numbers in their titles, arrives in India with no luggage and a bad attitude. Stranded in resort town Goa after the financing for her film Kama Sutra 3 falls apart and with nobody willing to bail her out, Marigold finds herself cast in a Bollywood musical. However, there is one problem she neglects to tell the producer she cannot dance. She enlists the aid of the choreographer of the film (Salman Khan) - who has a secret of his own.
