An absolute waste of money

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

"Craigslist Joe" tells the story of a man who makes it his goal to leave his home and make it by for one month. Here are the rules: no money, no credit cards, no check books, and no contacting anyone that he knows. So how does he do it? Craigslist. On Craigslist, he is able to post ads and respond to those posted by others in order to arrange plans for where to stay and eat food. Each day, he meets new people, who are each interesting in their own way. To me, this movie is fascinating because no man would have been able to manage anything like this before household technology was common. Also, the generosity and compassion of the people he meets is breathtaking. To sum it up: creative concept, impressive feat, great movie. I'd recommend "Craigslist Joe" to anyone.

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.

As much as I looked forward to watching this, I was shocked that there was no mention about his calling credit.I myself struggle to put calling credit on my phone.Sometimes, I go a month or two without any calling credit at all, and while I do get credit, its only due to my mother feeling sorry for me.So my question is, how can this guy, go out there, unarmed, and unprepared, survive without calling credit on his phone.As asked above, how would this individual manage without any calling credit, or the land-line he is reliant on.?I feel that the whole DVD and film is a fares, and that there are people out there that need more exposure! Period!

Craigslist Joe demonstrates to all those who doubt the basic goodness of human beings that each and every one of us possesses beauty and a fundamental dignity. The films characters and their interactions pass as at least exceptionally genuine and not a moment of camp or scripting was evident and this with the ordinariness of the content gives it it's power. The subject matter, alienation and the vanishing of real community (in the U.S. and the industrialized world at large), born by distrust and distraction, is eminently relevant and the film works very well by instead of bemoaning the fact showing the conditions for healing. I hope that you can watch this movie and see what is missing in your life, and perhaps rate this free of cynicism. Cheers and jolly good luck; the Elites may have all the wealth but we've certainly got the numbers.
