5.0 out of 5 stars An Entirely New Take on Romance - Delightful, Funny, Relevant February 22, 2012

By C. Alease

Format:DVD

A few years ago, I met a young man named Jameel Saleem through Facebook and a mutual friend, Chyna Lane, who worked with my daughter, Amina Robinson on Precious. He reminded me so much of my youngest son with his deep set in eyes and heavy eyebrows, and his first name was actually spelled identically as my oldest son's middle name.

He was gracious enough to accept my friend request and then I began to see all of the great things this fine young man was doing; not the least of which was an enormously funny web series of vignettes, delightfully rendered takes on an un-romantic relationship with his girlfriend, called, "Exit Strategy."

I couldn't get enough of them and would watch them over and over, laughing hysterically each time. Now this is important: If you can watch something over and over and laugh hysterically as though it is the first time you are seeing it, IT'S GOOD, IT HAS STAYING POWER, IT IS A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING.

Over time, I had the same pleasure to meet Kimelia Weathers through Facebook; a dynamo, adorable and funny. Both of these young people are bright, shining new stars on the horizon, enormously talented. I asked Jameel and Kimelia when and if Exit Strategy would ever become a movie, because I knew it would be good as a full length feature. They said they were working on it.

...and voila!

Exit Strategy the movie premiered in theatres in the Philadelphia area on February 10th, 2012, and I was honored enough to meet them when I got to the theater. Not only was the movie very well written, but it was even funnier, and the characters played by Jameel and Kimelia were extremely convincing as "the psycho girlfriend," and the "battered non-boyfriend." The premise was hilarious: who wouldn't want to move in with a girl you only knew for three months, but not want to be in a relationship with, because you're getting evicted from your apartment -- right away.

Although he tried unsuccessfully to move in with his friends and coworkers, he wound up with Kim in her pink place. And the fun begins there, and doesn't stop. The closeups on the characters' faces allows you to feel each and every moment of their experiences and that is superb acting in my view.

This movie is a must see, a must buy, and will be a definite "enjoy." I know I did. In a word, LOVED.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious February 27, 2012

By Jason

Format:DVD

This movie is wildly original and entertaining. it is a great spin on the traditional Romantic Comedy Genre. I have been a fan since the Exit Strategy web series and the film picks up right where the series left off. Exit Strategy is non stop Awkward comedy that makes you laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. you really can feel the pain of the main character. Jameel Saleem is an up and coming actor with a bright future in the business. I look forward to more work from him very soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT EVERY MAN CAN WEAR PINK June 17, 2012

By Michael TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

James (Jameel Saleem) spends all his money attempting to impress his new girlfriend of 3 months. By all, I mean rent money. He gets evicted and moves in with her and they haven't consummated the relationship as yet. After moving in, James realizes that Kim (Kimelia Weathers) is not what he wants in life. She loves the color pink, enjoys eating healthy, and has born again virginity. What he wants to do is to live in her home and sleep on her couch while not being her boyfriend, i.e. friends without benefits.

James consults with various friends who make fun of his inane situation. The whole problem with the film is that his situation crosses the threshold and is idiotic. For this type of situation you need an equivalent over the top layer of cheese. Rather than do this, the film layers it with stale humor. The movie had a few good scenes, unfortunately it had too many scenes that didn't work.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs or nudity. Adult language, adult talk, couple having loud sex behind closed door.
