ELFF more reviews

By Mike Hughes

'Offshore'

• Genre: Feature

• See it: 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Capra

• Director: Diane Cheklich (Michigan, 90 minutes)

A greedy company suddenly switches to a call center in India, forcing its employees to train the people who will replace them. Partially filmed in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), this is a surprisingly even-handed comedy, which has viewers shifting sides. There are few big laughs, but lots of small ones; the fine cast includes East Lansing's Leanor Reizen as the matriarch.
