Ah, December. A time for sipping hot beverages, retail therapy, and gathering the family around the television. This holiday season, Netflix will add blockbuster comedies new and old to its collection, as well as some more artistic fare fresh from festival circuit. Next month on the streaming platform, home viewers can catch the comedic stylings of Chris Pratt in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” in case they missed it in theaters. If you prefer something a little darker, the Wachowskis’ dystopian epic “V for Vendetta” will also be available.

Next year marks 20 years since Everybody Loves Raymond premiered on CBS, turning stand-up Ray Romano and on-air colleagues Patricia Heaton and Brad Garrett into very big TV stars. The show also marked a turning point for creator Phil Rosenthal: An actor/writer who’d previously worked on sitcoms such as Coach, he was now in charge of one of the most successful (and financially lucrative) sitcoms of the late 1990s. Raymond left the air in 1995, but rather than churn out more comedies, Rosenthal has spent more of the past decade in front of the camera than behind it. In 2011, he starred in the successful documentary Exporting Raymond, which chronicled his efforts to help Russian TV producers mount an adaptation of his CBS comedy. And this month he can be seen on PBS, hosting I’ll Have What Phil’s Having, a six-week travelogue in which Rosenthal journeys to a...

Everybody Loves Raymond has already been adapted for foreign audiences including in Russia, where the process was the subject of 2010 documentary Exporting Raymond. Now, the BBC has confirmed that a pilot for a UK remake will be shot for BBC One later this month. British comic actor-writer Lee Mack is penning the pilot for The Smiths and will star alongside The Office‘s Catherine Tate. Just as Ray Romano did on the Emmy-winning CBS sitcom that ran from 1996-2005, Mack will play a successful sportswriter whose overbearing parents and older brother live next door, but the action will move from Long Island to the English county of Cheshire. Tate plays Mack’s wife in a role originated by Patricia Heaton, and further cast is to be confirmed. Mack’s currently starring in, writing and exec producing the sixth season of BBC sitcom Not Going Out. Tate, who started on NBC...

Following the nine-season run of his Emmy-winning comedy Everybody Loves Raymond, Phil Rosenthal successfully segued into documentary-making with Exporting Raymond, which chronicled his adventures in Russia overseeing the development of a local version of his CBS series.

The news today from Viacom International Media Networks should amuse anyone who saw Exporting Raymond — the hilarious 2010 documentary about efforts by tone-deaf Russian producers and actors to develop their own version of Everybody Loves Raymond.

One of the unexpected moviegoing treats of the year is Phil Rosenthal’s documentary Exporting Raymond, the saga of his experience traveling to Russia to try to help a local production team re-create his hit TV comedy Everybody Loves Raymond. It’s a disarming film that has more substance than you might expect; what’s more, it’s very, very funny. I interviewed Rosenthal about his movie on the occasion of its DVD release; take a look.

On Aug. 2, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the clever comedy documentary movie Exporting Raymond on Blu-ray and DVD for the list prices of $35.99 and $30.99, respectively.
Phil Rosenthal brings Romano to Russia in Exporting Raymond.
Written and directed by Phil Rosenthal, the creator of TV’s Everybody Loves Raymond starring Ray Romano, 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 discovers that the situation is what’s really funny, and that the cultural differences between American and Russia are truly the stuff of comedy (not that Raymond isn’t funny, too.).
Exporting Raymond received a well-reviewed limited theatrical release in late April.

"What makes Johann run — and rob?" asks Melissa Anderson in the Voice. "Benjamin Heisenberg's second feature is as taut, lean, and fleet as its title character, played by Andreas Lust and based on the real-life Johann Kastenberger, who was both Austria's most-wanted bank robber of the 1980s and a champion marathoner. Writing the script with Martin Prinz, who adapted his own 2005 novel about the notorious criminal, Heisenberg forgoes backstory and psychological explanation, structuring his film as a series of adrenaline spikes."
"Lust's character in The Robber is familiar from European crime movies," suggests Noel Murray at the Av Club. "He's the stoic loner who doesn't say much, lest he inadvertently reveal some kind of motivation. When he robs banks, he wears a thin mask that doesn't look all that different from his face, and when he goes on a date with his caseworker, Franziska Weisz, he's more amused by...

The comic documentary "Exporting Raymond," which opened in limited release on Friday, is about a clash of cultures, as "Everybody Loves Raymond" producer/creator Phil Rosenthal went to Russia to launch a Russian version of his hit television show. The humor didn't always translate, with Rosenthal running into problems with dour Russian network executives, writers schooled on soap operas and a wardrobe woman who thought his blue-collar comedy should somehow instruct Russian women about high fashion. But there's another culture clash going on around the film as well – because the enormously successful...

"Everybody Loves Raymond" was one of those toothless, suburban schlub family sitcoms where everyone expresses their adoration by berating at top volume. Heartfelt and harmless, it rode the massive wave that had carried "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners" and "Roseanne" and "Archie Bunker" and "The King of Queens" and ... yeah. A comedian creates a mockup of his family, everyone yells at each other, and by the end of the episode everyone's hugging. It's a mindless distraction and yet a comforting reminder that all families are slightly screwed up. Other countries see these sitcoms and want them for their networks, only modified to the various modes and trends of their nation. When Russia came knocking, considering optioning "Everybody Loves Raymond," one of the creators of the show, Phil Rosenthal, documented the obstacles and frustrations of trying to recreate Raymond. Exporting Raymond is a pleasant distraction, mildly entertaining, and a bit slight.

Weekend Box Office: April 28th to May 1st In a box office edition of “freaky friday,” the highest grossing studio debut was released in 2-D while the Indie market’s biggest debut was released in 3-D. Werner Herzog’s Cave of Forgotten Dreams only needed five locations to gross $127,000 in its first weekend (making this film Mr. Herzog’s most successful debut of his career). The big result was good enough for a healthy $25,400 average. 3-D bashers should not start rioting yet, however, as the film will expand to more locations in 2-D versions as well. The Herzog documentary was picked up by IFC Films at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. While not benefitting from any kind of 3-D bump, Exporting Raymond was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films to less than stellar numbers. The $2,769 average in 13 theaters won’t do much for the longevity of the documentary that...

In Exporting Raymond, Phil Rosenthal, creator of the long-running sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005) travels to Russia to help start a Russian version of the show, called Voroniny. The film’s trailer begins with scenes from “live before a television audience” filmings and Rosenthal getting accolades for the show’s success. The image freezes as the narrator intones, “Then the Russians called.” We flash to a stern-looking Gorbachev, the onion domes of the Kremlin, shots of Red Square and evil-looking weather. Are we supposed to be scared? It’s not as if the Cold War didn’t end twenty years ago. I’ve never actually watched a full episode of Elr, but the impression I always got was that it was more geared to middle-aged married couples in the ‘burbs than twenty- or thirty-something urbanites (yours truly being the latter).

The Six Things That Are Funny About Exporting Raymond The creator of Everybody Loves Raymond brought his show to Russia. I watched his documentary about it, so you don't have to. By David Warner, Jr. I should have known that Exporting Raymond wasn't going to be funny. After all, Everybody Loves Raymond wasn't funny, so why would a movie about Phil Rosenthal, the guy that created Everybody Loves Raymond, traveling to Russia to recreate the "magic" of the original be funny? The thing is, the trailer for Exporting Raymond actually is really funny, with a classic fish-out-of-water setup, and that tricked me into thinking that the movie would be funny. Anyway, good Samaritan that I am, I'll save you the time and effort of sifting through Exporting Raymond yourself and just tell you the things that were funny about it. No need to [...]...

Interview - Phil Rosenthal
Sitting across from the man who created and executive produced Everybody Loves Raymond you get the initial sense that this man could easily snap his fingers and make anything happen. Based on the success of Raymond and how well America responded to a sitcom that destroyed in its first run and is decimating in their reruns with how often people are watching them you ought to be afraid of a man who figured out the secret sauce. But, honestly, there wasn’t anything to be afraid of.
I met Phil Rosenthal in a hotel restaurant early in the morning and had a sensible meal of eggs and toast. Politely, he asked if I wanted anything to eat during...

The caricature of the crass American producer who kicks the art out of a production has become a comic cliché, but Phil Rosenthal’s documentary Exporting Raymond flips the script. Rosenthal is the co-creator (with Ray Romano) of Everybody Loves Raymond, which ran for nine seasons on CBS in the ’90s and ’00s. In 2009, Rosenthal visited Russia to help supervise their version of Raymond, only to find that the style of comedy he thought he was doing on his show—rooted in the common annoyances of domesticity—didn’t sync with a Russian entertainment industry used to pumping out ...

"Everybody Loves Raymond" was a sitcom, not a documentary, but showrunner Phil Rosenthal always wanted the show to have some level of truth. The characters were modeled on a mix of Rosenthal and Ray Romano's families, and Rosenthal tried to run the writers' room the way Carl Reiner did on "The Dick Van Dyke Show," kicking off each Monday meeting by asking the staff what happened with their families over the weekend. More often than not, real life provided the spine of the next episode's plot. Now real life and "Raymond" have intersected in a different way with "Exporting Raymond," a...

Ray Romano wants to make it perfectly clear: He is not replacing Steve Carell on "The Office."
The star of the NBC workplace sitcom exits the show in a "super-sized" episode Thursday (April 28), and Romano will turn up in the May 19 season finale, along with James Spader ("Boston Legal") and British comedy star Catherine Tate. However, the former staple of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and current writer-actor on TNT's "Men of a Certain Age" stresses it's only a brief visit.
"It's a cameo," Emmy winner Romano tells Zap2it. "It's real quick, a drive-by. One of the writers on the show, Aaron Shure, was on 'Raymond,' He called me at the house and asked if I would do it, and I said, 'Yeah.' As soon as I took it, though, I thought, 'Oh, I hope people don't think I'm going to take the place of Steve Carell. I know...

See new movie clips from the Exporting Raymond documentary directed by Philip Rosenthal. Exporting Raymond tells the hilarious journey of Phil Rosenthal, considered an expert in his country having created one of the most popular television shows of all time, who travels to a foreign land to help people who don't seem to want his help.

Rosenthal tries to connect with his Russian colleagues but runs into unique characters and situations that conspire to drive him insane. The movie is a true international adventure, a genuine, "fish out of water" comedy that could only exist in real life.

Phil Rosenthal still thanks his lucky stars for one heckuva run on CBS: He was blessed with a “great group of people” when he executive produced Everybody Loves Raymond, the most-watched comedy of its time. So he’s grateful he’s not in Chuck Lorre’s situation — having to decide whether to carry on with TV’s No. 1 comedy without Charlie Sheen.
But Rosenthal does have something to say about the scandal surrounding the controversial star. “I don’t know all the details of the situation well enough,” cautions Rosenthal, while attending the premiere of Exporting Raymond, his documentary that...

Summary: The hysterical, maddening and true story of Russia's 'Raymond.'
I recall reading the synopsis for Exporting Raymond for the first time. "Huh? What?" It takes a second to fully comprehend the film's subject matter. What we have here is a travelogue documentary directed, written by and starring television producer Phil Rosenthal. Phil is the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, that unchallenging, pleasant, ubiquitous Ray Romano sitcom that lasted nine whopping seasons on CBS. A few years back, Phil was tapped to assist the Russians in adapting Raymond for, well, the Russians, so it was off to Moscow. Phil must have sensed the creative process would be worth documenting, and boy was he right.

More overseas love for Everybody Loves Raymond. Sony Pictures Television is announcing at Miptv today that it has sold local-language versions of the hit CBS comedy in Israel and Poland. Poland's Tvn has ordered 30 episodes and Israel's Reshet has picked up 33 episodes to be jointly produced by Sony TV. The sales follow the success of Sony's first international version of Raymond in Russia, where The Voronins (Воронины) has reached 210 episodes on Ctc network, matching the series' U.S. run, and is the country's No. 1 comedy. Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal chronicled his experience of helping develop The Voronins in the feature documentary Exporting Raymond, which is being released April 29. Additionally, Sony remade all 250 U.S. episodes of Married … With Children for Russia's TNT and is now working on 100 new original episodes of the show for the Russian network.

If you miss Phil Rosenthal’s sense of humor, you won’t have to wait too long to get it back. The enormously successful creator and executive producer of CBS’ Everybody Loves Raymond is finally releasing Exporting Raymond, a documentary based on his experience with a Russian broadcaster that bought the sitcom’s format.
Apparently, it wasn’t all fun and games for Rosenthal (like when a Russian executive who could double as a hit man tells the uber-producer that his sitcom wasn’t funny). The nerve! Didn’t Rosenthal show him his Emmy?
The movie opens April 29.

After the hit sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond ended, Moscow TV execs contacted producer Phil Rosenthal to air the show in Russia. So Rosenthal - a vet of the American industry - headed to the Motherland to launch Voroniny, the Russian Raymond, and made a doc about it called Exporting Raymond. (I asked a Russian speaker in the office to translate "Voroniny," and he said, "Uh... thieves? A group of thieves." Wut? Thanks for nothing, Vlad.)
