Outsourced - the Movie

Enjoyed it. Quite a laugh if you are in the subset of the population that knows India but lives far from it. First half was absolutely hilarious (particularly if you don't have great alternative options for your time). Very cleverly done, it seems to have won a ton of awards, definitely worth watching, higly recommend. I dont think its released in the US though. Probably need to order the DVD.

I watched it on a flight in the airspace close to and over Afghanistan yesterday. Ironic, the two most popular American exports around the world - military and business - nothing really to show on the cultural or historical fronts. Still if you ever end up with a headache thinking about all the foreign policy missteps from a few years ago, nothing like a light hearted comedy to get you in a better state of mind.
