"Based on a script by George Wing ("50 First Dates"), co-writer/director John Jeffcoat's struggles with timing and tone are the main drawbacks to this mini cinematic vacation to Mumbai, Bombay."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2/4
"Problems emerge as the lightweight vibe eventually becomes oppressive..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

5/5
"A tour de force comedy/drama about the positive effects of cross-cultural understanding and spiritual openness."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"It's a celebration of cultural diversity and an affirmation that, despite differences in race, religion, and societal norms, people are essentially the same, with a lack of understanding being a key block to better relations."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/4
"The story of one man's inner self-discovery during his time in India, Outsourced is a fish-out-of-water tale of the distinctly white and schmucky kind."  Slant Magazine  Rob Humanick

7/10
"If Ayesha Dharker and the Kamasutra are waiting for me on the other side, outsource me up, Spock!"  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

"Mixing astute cultural observation, character-driven comedy and a little romance, John Jeffcoat's Outsourced is a delightful look at how easily jobs can be cut and sent elsewhere."  Movie Views  Ryan Cracknell

2.5/5
"Fun as it is, the film's greatest failure is to present a catalogue of stereotypes on both sides of the India/America divide which feeds the farce ... but foils any notion of social commentary."  JWR  S. James Wegg

3/4
"A smart, low-key charmer."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
