Everybody ribs Ray Romano in his delightful directorial debut ‘Somewhere in Queens’

Veteran sitcom actors Ray Romano and Laurie Metcalf are magnificent together as Leo and Angela, a long-married couple in “Somewhere in Queens.” (Roadside Attractions)

We know exactly where we’re going with Ray Romano’s delightful and sharply funny “Somewhere in Queens” from the opening segment, which is set in a utilitarian banquet hall with the grand name of Versailles Palace, the go-to place in the neighborhood for christening celebrations, confirmations, bar mitzvahs, retirement parties, birthdays, you name it. This time around, it’s a wedding reception, and as Louis Prima’s “Buona Sera” plays on the soundtrack, the videographer records the guests sending their best wishes.

 “I love youse both,” says one gal, and yes, she says “youse.”
