Outsourced Reviews
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011
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.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 29, 2008
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 | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2008
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.
| Aug 29, 2008
Jeffcoat handles the ostensible cultural differences gingerly. The movie's approach to globalism is to play everything small and keep everybody human.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 14, 2007
...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.

Its head may be in the sand, but Outsourced is a good-spirited idyll, an escape from reality, naive to a fault, and all but unconcerned with the troubles of the world but almost - almost - convincing in its innocence.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 6, 2007
[A] smart and charming romantic comedy.
| Original Score: A- | Oct 4, 2007
Outsourced has a gentle touch with the obvious fish-out-of-water touchstones.

The film's deliberate, carefully paced narrative can't obscure the sense of epiphany that permeates Outsourced.

The problem with making a movie on topical subjects is that by the time of its release, it can seem awfully stale.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 28, 2007
Josh Hamilton gives a marvelously engaging performance in this fish-out-of-water comedy.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 28, 2007
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 28, 2007
A wonderful surprise.

The story of one man's inner self-discovery during his time in India, Outsourced is a fish-out-of-water tale of the distinctly white and schmucky kind.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 27, 2007
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.

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