One of the things that pisses me off most is when I call (insert company name here) and I get some guy (or girl) who’s obviously not in the same country never mind who speaks the same language. I put blame on the (company) for outsourcing the jobs to people who may not be qualified to deal with the problems which are coming up and though I sometimes get angry at those poor folks thousands of miles away I do, in the back of my head, know that they’re just doing their job. But in the heat of the moment, I can’t help but flare.
And then someone comes along and makes a comedy about the whole experience – from the other side of the phone line. Outsourced sees a typical office dude’s job being outsourced to India and to make matters worse, he’s sent out there to train his replacement. Craziness ensues, he finds himself and falls in love, The End. But it still looks damned funny and this was one of the films they kept adding screenings for at VIFF – Vancouverites simply couldn’t get enough.
The film is now available on DVD.
