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. full review

A frothy romantic comedy that makes a serious point about the arrogance of treating human beings from around the world as interchangeable economic units. full review

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. full review

Jeffcoat handles the ostensible cultural differences gingerly. The movie's approach to globalism is to play everything small and keep everybody human. full review

...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. full review

Outsourced has a gentle touch with the obvious fish-out-of-water touchstones. full review

The problem with making a movie on topical subjects is that by the time of its release, it can seem awfully stale. full review

Josh Hamilton gives a marvelously engaging performance in this fish-out-of-water comedy. full review

It is a film bursting with affection for its characters and for India. It never pushes things too far, never stoops to cheap plotting, is about people learning to really see one another. It has a fundamental sweetness and innocence. full review

A wonderful surprise.

I guess Outsourced is simply too bright and pleasant to become a huge hit, but it's a confident little genre film with near-classic charm. full review

It's a celebration of cultural diversity and an affirmation that, despite differences in race, religion, and societal norms, people are essentially the same, with a lack of understanding being a key block to better relations. full review

This unaffected charmer treats a hot-button contempo issue with old-fashioned grace and benevolent wit. full review
