Outsourced (2006)

From NetFlix:

When his department is outsourced to India, customer call
center manager Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton) heads to
Mumbai to train his successor (Asif Basra). Amusing culture
clashes soon ensue as Anderson tries to explain American
business practices to the befuddled new employees — and
in the process learns some important lessons about
globalization and life. Director John Jeffcoat’s delightful
comedy also stars Ayesha Dharker and Matt Smith.

Thanks to Lynn for suggesting “Outsourced”. This film is bound to bring a smile
to your face. It is an easy watch because there is really no tension. Relax and
enjoy as if you had traveled to India as Todd Anderson and really learned to accept
India.

Every detail seems to ring true except possibly for the following: Following his
being turned blue, red, and every other color in the feast of Holi, Todd notices that
the Indians clean themselves in the river. So Todd follows suit and submerges.
I suspect that if a germ susceptible American did that, he might die on the spot.
But correct me if I am wrong.

Possibly not for children due to sexual references. At one point the couple spend
a night in the “Kama-Sutra” room. Even that comes off innocently.

Just plain chill-out fun,
