EXPORTING RAYMOND [2010]

Phil Rosenthal is hired to adapt his hit sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond for Russian television and hijinks ensue in the 2010 documentary Exporting Raymond.
An often funny and insightful look at the cultural differences & similarities in both television and general life and how the studio execs on both sides of the ocean just don't get what Raymond was. Even if you're not a fan of Raymond, this film is well worth a viewing to get a look at the process and pain that goes into such an ordeal.
