Outsourced (2007)
Member Rating:  
When the 32-year-old manager of a Seattle customer call center receives word that his entire Order Fulfillment department is about to be outsourced to India, his initial anger gives way to a newfound sense of wonder as he travels to Mumbai to train his replacement. Todd (Josh Hamilton) is facing unemployment, but in the meantime he has accepted a temporary job to travel to India and ensure the company's transition is a smooth one. Though at first nonplussed by his unfamiliar new surroundings, Todd is subsequently disarmed by the friendliness of his likeable replacement, Puro (Asif Basra), and charmed by co-worker Asha's (Ayesha Dharker) offer to better familiarize the newcomer with the people and customs of India. As Todd begins to sow the seeds of productivity among his amiable new employees and gains the ability to look past their cultural differences, an overnight business trip that lands Todd and Asha together at a Kamasutra Hotel threatens to complicate the endeavor in ways that the outsourced American never anticipated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Well worth watching. A light but on-target romp about the realities of outsourcing. Sharp writing, good acting and highly entertaining. Much better than the TV show. It's one of the few movies that you want more of, rather than wanting less. Rent it, you won't be sorry.

You owe it to yourself to see "Outsourced" especially if you've seen the other outsourcing comedy "Other End of the Line." Where "Other End" was fluffy and contrived fantasy, "Outsourced" is fun and well- dramatized, with an offbeat East-meets-West romance and some nice twists. Setting is scenic and colorful, and at the same time gritty and authentic. Solidly crafted story is true to the characters and the culture clash that the outsourcing brings. I hope the TV series does the movie justice.

Very funny and engaging, with memorable characters and events! There is actually a new "Outsourced" sitcom debuting on NBC in Sept 2010!

The movie was a funny and lighthearted look at what's really happening. I went to India earlier this year to look at potential outsourcing for my employer and it was pretty close to the mark!
