Peter Rainer

Smart and charming. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

Simply too bright and pleasant to become a huge hit, but it's a confident little genre film with near-classic charm. Read full review

Eddie Cockrell

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. Read full review

Brian Miller

Outsourced has all the charm and color of its made-in-India locations, yet it's crafted--well crafted--according to familiar Hollywood convention. Read full review

Bill White

It is not giving away much to say that everything ends as expected, just not soon enough. Read full review
