24 Hours on Craigslist

This was a well done documentary, with plenty of humor...and a few touching moments, ironically. For me it felt a little long, and not quite focused enough to hold my interest for the length of the film. I think that the humor aspects could have spaced a little better to keep me interested. The characters were all interesting, and the underlying tone of the film was great.

I think with some better editing and a more "movement" in the flow of the whole thing, this movie could be top drawer. I started to get restless towards the middle all through to the end.

Nice work, though. Definitely a guy to watch...

Everyone has a Craigslist story-- selling my furniture, renting an apartment, finding a new roommate, butler for hire, selling 250 pairs of army surplus pants, "Ethel Merman" looking for a 70s band,rent a husband, etc etc.

This is a way to get to know in 80 minutes a laid back version of San Francisco, all that we love and hate about it. Touching stories as well as the outrageous!

Is there a Craig for Craiglist? This is a story within a story-- "Craig is a giant computer underneath the stands at Kezar stadium?; How does craigslist make enough money to stay on the web? (no ads you know)

We need a Craiglist movie for New York, London, Paris and the other 25 plus cities where it operates.

Great movie

This film was so poorly shot, I had a headache for 2 hours after. The storyline was abysmal at best...I mean, given the size of the community there has to be much more interesting content that could've been included. I also have a hard time believing it a true documentary, as some of the people interviewed were painfully acting their way through their "story". If there had been more stories like the couple that sold their stuff to travel around the world, it may have at least had content. But back to the shooting- over/underexposed and completely unsteady (I understand a style, this was not it). It might explain if all of the shooters were doing it for free from a CL listing in exchange for a credit. Although, if I had shot it and received credit, I would have used a pseudonym.

A very cool film-- I caught it at the SF IndieFest earlier this year, and it was the best thing I'd seen in a while. I find most documentaries boring and pedantic, but this read like a wildlife film where humans are the exotic animals. Trannies, diabetic cats, angry roommates, new age gurus, my favorite was the houseboat story. There's probably about 100 stories crammed into this film, but the whole is greater then the sum of its parts-- the world is becoming decentralized, and this film shows how craigslist is the glue that's bringing urban life back together, both in content and structure. With scenes like a sudden flash mob in downtown San Francisco, this is a fun flick even if you're not a craigslist fan already. One of the best docs this year

This was a bad documentary. Craigslist isn't all about lewd behavior, drugs and sexual oddities. It is about bringing people and their different needs together through the use of a online classified page.

The Beginning 30 minutes was boring. I found myself looking at my watch. There are Friday night TV shows I would rather have been watching. Or I could have stayed late at work to finish up a few things.

The majority of the movie was based around the more criminal and dirty parts of CL. The majority of the people I have met have been normal. Last year my winning soccer team was formed from CL. The movie, it was solely based on the San Fran page. There was a guy who delivers pot, a older weirdo who has sex parties, a couple that looks for S&M buddies, a girl who paints pornographic frescos, a few transvestites, a gay woman looking for a gay man / sperm donor for an ambiguous father figure, a guy who does gay pornos and also gives massages. We were there for 'Directors night' when someone asked the director after the movie if there were plans to do the same in other cities.

A cross section of the CL users was not represented. After the show the director took questions. He said CRAIG didn't want them to make a NY Craigslist Movie because the page is getting increased volume from pressure from law enforcement. This stupid movie concentrated on some of the things law enforcement should be interested in, not an accurate cross section of the Users of Craigslist. It was raunchy. And it will drive people from using CL.
