John Jeffcoat’s feature debut, “Outsourced,” is a culture-clash office romcom rah-rah-for-us fairytale of small ambition and almost as much accomplishment. When Todd Anderson, the manager (Josh Hamilton, almost as bland as his character’s name) of a Seattle call center is relocated to India, all the obvious and predictable jokes are packed in his luggage to be unfurled over the next ninety minutes like fine raiment. (Cue vulgar Kama Sutra joke again and again.) While Ayesha Dharker brings some dignity to Asha, Todd’s immediate love interest, there’s not much to recommend unless you’re a fan of grating gags about contemporary customary service, toilet paper and weak stomachs. A movie like this makes the underappreciated complexities of Wes Anderson’s “The Darjeeling Limited” grow dearer in memory. Better to seek out docs on the topic like Ashim Ahluwalia’s “John & Jane Toll Free” or Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal’s “Bombay Calling.” 98m. (Ray Pride)
