American call-center manager Todd (Josh Hamilton) is shocked to learn that his company is shutting down and moving its operations to India. There, an overnight business trip that lands Todd and his Idian coworker Asha together at a Kamasutra Hotel threatens to complicate the endeavor in ways that the outsourced American never anticipated.
A frothy romantic comedy that makes a serious point about the arrogance of treating human beings from around the world as interchangeable economic units.

An indie crowd pleaser with a timely message, Outsourced is a kind of globalization lite romantic comedy, simultaneously touching on some fairly grim issues with a soft focus lens.
No, it's not your meet-cute Reese Witherspoon/Kate Hudson rom-com, but if you're looking for a humble movie with a lot of genuine heart, Outsourced has more than enough to go around.

...even if we aren't pumping our fists in the air, we're rooting for the characters with an agreeable 'namaste' vibe that feels earned rather than forced upon us.
In the hands of a lesser director, the secondary characters, including Todd's matronly Indian landlady, might have been mere caricatures. Smart production design and camerawork enhance the sense of authenticity.
A sweet if predictable variation on the premise of the ugly American, redeemed by Hamiton's dry performance, some nice comic turns by the Indian supporting cast, and a droll script by Jeffcoat and George Wing.
