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.
