Leave your thoughts about Outsourced.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA tour de force comedy/drama about the positive effects of cross-cultural understanding and spiritual openness. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsEngaging, unpredictable, hilarious and entertaining at every turn, this charming thoroughly modern romantic romp offers all you could ever ask of a cross-cultural comedy, plus it paints a plausible picture of the pitfalls of sending jobs overseas. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA good-spirited and silly comedy that is firmly grounded in reality. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSweet and light. It's a celebration of cultural diversity and an affirmation that, despite differences in race, religion, and societal norms, people are essentially the same. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOutsourced is not a great movie, and maybe couldn't be this charming if it was. It is a film bursting with affection for its characters and for India. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghOutsourced is a sweet, good-natured surprise that takes the cliches out of an overworked genre and makes them seem almost fresh and entirely charming. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsA sweetly acted and neatly executed social comedy. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullNo, 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. |
| Film.comMark Bourne...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. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerAn 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. |
