Exporting Raymond 2011 ★★½

Watched Jul 12, 2012

Interesting concept but it's not a documentary worth watching.

It's about the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond attempting to adapt the show for Russia. There is obviously a large culture gap so there are more than a few challenges.

There are a few problems. First, it's directed by Philip Rosenthal, the very focus of the documentary. Second, Everybody Loves Raymond is kinda lame and corny. Both of those combined only make things worse.

Still, it's not a horrible movie. There is some interesting stuff(a couple side stories just barely related to the show adaptation) but not enough. I didn't hate it but there are a thousand better documentaries and movies, skip this.
