February 9, 2012Not bad. I liked the setting in India, although I have to admit, it doesn't make me want to go there! Not glamourous at all, although some of it is pretty.
I have only seen one episode of the sit com based on it, so I can't really comment on if this is better or not (I honestly... read more -
August 11, 2011Todd: Your name is Manmeet?
A few years before the now popular NBC show, Outsourced, it was first an indie movie. In this post I will compare and decide which is better. Let's start with the TV show. In my opinion, the show is hilarious and features very likable characters. Not ... read more -
March 13, 2011I can see why this concept inspired a sitcom - very funny! A lot of over-the-top stereotypes, but funny none the less. A different romantic comedy that makes you laugh more than think about the romance!

November 2, 2009When I began watching this film initially I was put off. It looked like a hackneyed attempt to inject comedy into a situation that has touched many Americans; Outsourcing.
What I found instead was a very insightful look into the other side of the equation-that which has touched... read more -

July 4, 2009What could have been a paint-by-numbers romantic comedy surprised me. A *lot*. The script is fresh and witty, the actors (with the exception of the lead) are wonderful and very real, and even the setting adds a touch of poignancy. That being said, Hamilton... is really not ver... read more

February 27, 2012it was a film of simplicity nothing ridiculously crazy, over the top, the humor was very light which almost at times makes the movie very enjoyable. It is a light touch on an unfortunate reality in America, now the characters are very likeable except for the boss, he was a douche... read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
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

Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
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 Geo... Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
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

Brian Miller, Village Voice
Outsourced has a gentle touch with the obvious fish-out-of-water touchstones. Full Review

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
The problem with making a movie on topical subjects is that by the time of its release, it can seem awfully stale. Full Review

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Josh Hamilton gives a marvelously engaging performance in this fish-out-of-water comedy. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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 fund... Full Review
