I would give the movie Outsourced seven stars out of ten stars. I do not think that Outsourced is a fun movie to watch. It is longer than it needs to be and there is not good character development. In reality the production is not that great either. The reason that I am not giving this movie three stars out of ten instead of seven is because if the message behind the movie. The movie is revolved around the transformation of Ted (main character and boss). While not the best movie, it is able to get its point across and the viewer can see this change in Todd. We see Todd change from a closed minded American who only cares about superficial things turn into a more open minded person who cares more and is more humane.

I watched Outsourced online. Josh Hamilton plays Todd Anderson the boss of the outsourced employees. Ayesha Dharker plays Asha, the woman that opens Todd's eyes to the world around him. The movie basically follows Todd around his move to India when his company outsources their calling center and we see Todd experience a new country and a new outlook on life. In the movie we see Todd come to India and meet many new people and experience many new things. He comes across things that he never has seen. He has a close-minded attitude about his situation and does not really enjoy himself in India. This is until he meets more people and starts to open himself to different experiences. Todd starts talking to and meeting with Asha (one of his employees) and they develop a close relationship with each other and we see a complete change in Todd's outlook. In the end we see Todd make an executive decision about his life and what he wants to be doing. My favorite part of the movie is the ending. I would not call the ending of the movie a happy ending in which everyone lived happily ever after but it is definitely not a sad ending. We see potential for good things to happen and we see Todd starting to go down the road in which he will live a better and more fulfilling life. The ending does a really good job at leaving the mind open to wonder and come up with your own ending, which in effect also makes you think about your own life. The ending really makes you question yourself and analysis yourself in a healthy way. Instead of other movies making you wish you had super powers, or that you were extremely skinny, or funny this movie makes you really ask yourself if you are really happy. This is what makes this movie good and worthwhile watching. The movie also focuses on some of the other Indian people working in the calling center and for many people who have no had the experience of meeting or talking to an Indian person we see what it is like for these people who work in these places. We see the warm hearts and the different cultures of these different people and the way that they have a work attitude that you would never believe. Over all, after reviewing this movie would I recommend it or not? I would say if you are not busy and you are in the mood to open your eyes to new perspective then watch Outsourced. It will be enjoyed by most for a little and then lose one's attention but is worth the watch. The movie opened my eyes to what I can change about myself and how I can work towards creating a better me.
