Outsourced(2006) When his department is outsourced to India, customer call center manager Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton) heads to Mumbai to train his successor (Asif Basra), and amusing culture clashes ensue as Anderson tries to explain American business practices to the befuddled new employees. In the process, he learns important lessons about globalization -- and life. Ayesha Dharker and Matt Smith also star in director John Jeffcoat's cross-cultural comedy.
- I gave it 5 stars.
This movie is an adorable romantic comedy from the first to last moments, a journey many of us should go on, opening ourselves up to another culture ---- I laughed out loud several times, for example a scene where the manager who is trying to train his team to speak English more like Americans do uses classic films for his training ----------hearing these people trying to say, "Are you talking to me?" is pretty funny stuff. The situations are believable, too. Good comedies are so few and far between, so I highly recommend this as a breath of fresh air in a market dominated by stupid or filthy comedies. Loved it. I know it's not a classic, but I liked it so much, I had to give it a 5 . Very, very entertaining.
