Exporting Raymond - Watch It!
I finally got around to watching Exporting Raymond this weekend and I loved it! It’s the story of the remaking of Everyobody Loves Raymond for Russian audiences. (And don’t worry - I don’t like Everybody Loves Raymond either, but this movie is hilarious!)
As Russophiles, we know that some things in Russia are done a little bit differently than they’re done here, right? But to see the creator of the show, Phil Rosenthal, experiencing it all for himself takes me back to when I was there. But the thing about this guy, is he is stubborn - he doesn’t just accept everything for what it’s worth. So as painful and as funny as it is to watch, it’s why, in the end, the show is such a success.
And bonus! They give you 2 full episodes of “Everybody Loves Kostya” on the disc, so really - you have no excuse! Go rent this at Redbox right now for $1!
