Watch Craigslist Joe For Free

Perfect cast and a good story

Good movie but grossly overrated

Brilliant and touching

best movie i've ever seen.

I'll have to write a better review after I stop bawling like a complete man-baby from a certain part. Breathtakingly eye opening. An absolute must watch. America really is a great place, and it's because it's full of people from everywhere who wanted a better life, to become an American.

The goodness of human beings is explored in this documentary that pleasantly surprised me. I must say that I found it friendly from the moment the problem statement. During the trip, Joe gives us a heart medicine by saying he always found a kind soul along the way.I thought it was great to achieve a documentary like this and to establish a way to connect with people. Joe manages to catch the viewer to reflect even the problems that stand in the way, but ultimately encourages us as a society of little media exist or is so small that ends up being nonexistent. Definitely the world is full of good people, bad few.Craigslist Joe and demonstrate this through this documentary

Craigslist Joe is a road film documentary that challenges the viewer to reflect on his or her own generosity. In this film Joe Garner voluntarily leaves his home for 31 days with only a laptop, cell phone, and the cloths on his back; with the hopes that he can rely on the generosity of people through Craigslist ads to travel the Unites States. Through Craigslist, Joe comes across a large (an odd) spectrum of people, including businessmen, hippies, a compulsive hoarder, Iraqi immigrants, and a dominatrix. Towards the end of his trip he even gets to meet the founder of Craigslist himself. The road film genre of Craigslist Joe, paired with the many collaged videos of Joe's adventures, made the documentary feel like a scrapbook of Joe's journey. As Joe narrated the scenes, it made me feel as though I too was along for the ride. This film was entertaining throughout and because of the unpredictability of Craigslist, I never knew what to expect next. Having used Craigslist before, I was curious about this film to see how and if it is possible to live off of the website. Craigslist is notorious for being dangerous, because you never know who you're trading with and I personally have been put off at times by the potential of coming across a "bad" person. After watching this film I think I would feel a little more open to the idea of using the site, because a large majority of the people (although bizarre) were kind and charitable. The were a few technicalities that hindered the practicality of this experiment working. The fact that Joe was a clean-cut, attractive, white male, with a camera following him around, may have contributed to the ease in which he found assistance. It would be interesting to see how this experiment would have worked if done off camera, and or with someone of a different race and gender. With that said, the help that he received came from ads that people had posted regardless of Joe and his film. Although Joe's presence may have heightened peoples warmheartedness, there generosity was there to begin with.

I'm suspicious of how this documentary is sold as simply a guy traveling for 30 days only using craigslist to get food, transportation and shelter. How can that be when you have such a large crew and Zack Galifianakis from 'The Hangover' as the executive producer(see list below).Produced by Emily Foster .... associate producer Zach Galifianakis .... executive producer Joseph Garner .... producer Eve Marson Singbiel .... producer Uday Sehgal .... executive producer Angelique Sheppard .... co-producerOriginal Music by David G. Garner Cinematography by Kevin Flint Film Editing by Drew Kilcoin Animation Department James Anderson .... animatorEditorial Department Dennis Alaniz .... assistant editor Jacquelyn Herbert .... assistant editor Jonathan Liebert .... digital cinema mastering Adam Ohl .... digital intermediate producer Jan Yarbrough .... digital intermediate coloristAdditionally, I'm a little suspect of the people encountered and subject matter. He just happened to stumble on some friendly jews and a family from IRAQ who talked about how Americans tell them to go home. Throw in a trip to show the New Orleans hurricane Katrina devastation and how 'artists' are rebuilding the lower 9th ward. And, don't forget the scene where he is walking through a demonstration (not certain if it's one of the 'occupy' protests).There was one guy (hippy type) with a crappy vw van that breaks down several times. This guy has several jackets and other articles of clothing that cost more than his crappy vw van. This too was very suspect to me.I was disappointed.
