"Outsourced" was a good watch last night.

http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/?movieid=70068703

We really enjoyed it. Hard hitting facts about "outsourcing" mixed in with some romantics. But, all in all well done even with its Indian History a bit flawed about how Indian women deal with being "fianced" to someone when they are only babies.

Charming characters and funny...along with that dose of REALITY of what it is we have to deal with, these days, with jobs in America going other places.

Nice scenery, local customs, etc.


STREAMING on NETFLIX:

When his department is outsourced to India, customer call center manager Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton) heads to Mumbai to train his successor (Asif Basra), and amusing culture clashes ensue as Anderson tries to explain American business practices to the befuddled new employees. In the process, he learns important lessons about globalization -- and life. Ayesha Dharker and Matt Smith also star in director John Jeffcoat's cross-cultural comedy.
