Outsourced

The New York Times calls this movie "a wonderful surprise."

I quite agree.

Todd works as a call center manager in Seattle for a company which sells seriously tacky American kitsch - think cheeseheads - who gets outsourced to India and, against his will, has to travel there to train his replacement.

He's the typical reluctant traveler, clueless about his destination and initially resistant to learning about it.

The movie stays upbeat and lighthearted the whole time, treating potentially disastrous situations with wit and humor.

Throw in a little love story and you've got a gem of a movie.
