CULTURE SHOCK

Today's movie is a festival favorite

Outsourced (2006)

There are some great moments in this film about an American middle manager sent to India to train his successor and the crew who will take orders over the phone for a super-American-patriotic gimcrack company.

He, of course, a stranger in a strange land and there are some wonderful vignettes and some very unlikely cooincidences. It is not a great movie but the parts are greater than the whole.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5 and if you want some glimpses of India as it probably really is, take a look at this film.
