Has anyone seen this movie? I'm slowly writing a review for this movie. A Seattle based manager of an order fulfillment dept. for "Western Novelty" (cheap kitschy products, a lot of which are patriotic american) is sent to India to train his replacement and set up the replacement department and teach a bunch of average Hindi's to "act American". He doesn't want to go, but is threatened with the loss of his options and benefits and stuff he's invested into the job. He's resistant to Indian culture, has no sense of himself as an American - and this creates a lot of funny moments, but it's not as stereotypical as you'd think. The movie is a gentle romantic comedy about him discovering that there are some things Indian (including the lovely Ayesha Dharker, who played the evil queen in attack of the clones) worth incorporating into his life. Anyone else seen this?

Not see it, but I think I will try to.

It's coming out on DVD November 1 so that should help because I dunno about the UK but here in the US it was only playing as a limited release. Here's the official website: http://www.outsourcedthemovie.com/home.cfm
