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, rendering it a sure-fire word-of-mouth crowd-pleaser.

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

ReelViews by James Berardinelli
Sweet 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.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Outsourced is a sweet, good-natured surprise that takes the cliches out of an overworked genre and makes them seem almost fresh and entirely charming.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Outsourced 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.

The ending is predictable to anybody who's followed the trajectory of outsourcing. Outsourced humanizes those affected by it - even if the story sounds familiar.
