Outsourced

I decided to watch this because I've been enjoying NBC's TV series based on this and because I could stream it on Netflix. I only made it about 40 minutes deep before I stopped the movie because I was too tired. However, I got a pretty good idea of what to expect and noticed some major differences between the movie and the TV show.

The movie seemed to work very hard to show the viewer what it would really be like to be dropped into India with little preparation. The TV show feels like an American capsule with some Indian decorations outside the office. There are some parts where they talk about how the food is different, some language and mannerism differences, and one episode with a touch of religious/cultural differences. The movie on the other hand has the main character about as lost as he would be on an alien planet - all the way down to a strange toilet. Then there's the office itself. In the movie it looks like something straight out of the 80s while the TV show has very up-to-date tech. Which do you think is more accurate?

I think it would be best to combine the humor of the TV series with the truth and reality of the movie. If I had to choose though, I'd probably stick with the TV show; but that's only because the character Rajiv is so much better on the TV series and the TV series also has Charlie - a character I'm not sure exists in the movie (I'd have to watch more to find out, but it wouldn't be the same without the same actor).
