Phil Rosenthal brings Romano to Russia in Exporting Raymond.
On Aug. 2, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the clever comedy documentary movie Exporting Raymond on Blu-ray
Written and directed by Phil Rosenthal, the creator of TV’s Everybody Loves Raymond starring Ray Romano (TV’s Men of a Certain Age), the film takes a look at Rosenthal’s journey halfway around the world to assist Russia’s broadcast community adapting the smash TV series to Russian television (where it’s renamed Everybody Loves Kostya).
Over the course of his trip, Rosenthal discovers that the Russians don’t share his tastes, his sense of humor or his attitude. But Rosenthal quickly finds that the situation is what’s really funny, and that the cultural differences between America and Russia are truly the stuff of comedy (not that Raymond isn’t funny too).
Exporting Raymond received a well-reviewed limited release in theaters in late April.
