A Jean Pierre Jeunet film. You have to see this film to believe it. The art of the dark Dystopian french town by the sea and the cast of obscure characters represent all kinds of eye candy throughout the film.

The TV series of this movie doesn't represent this actual movie much at all. This isn't so much about being a comedy. But, it does show the way American companies hire telemarketers from overseas to make more money regardless of the concern for saving American jobs. This story does show alot of the distorted, less than pleasing visuals of the streets of India. It also has the beautiful Ayesha Dharker who starts a private relationship with the american (Josh Hamilton) who was sent to India to train his own replacement.
