24 Hours on Craigslist


Synopsis
This documentary chronicles some of the more interesting items on a particular day in San Francisco's Craig’s List, an online classified ad forum.

Observations
From marijuana delivery to surplus women’s pants to husbands-for-hire, who knew all the fun things available through Craigslist??? Though I think this film could have been edited a little better, it wasn’t bad as is. The filmmakers spent time in San Francisco interviewing people who had placed ads like “Flogging for Flowers” and “Indian virgin seeks willing woman.” It was refreshing to hear the people who had been using Craigslist for years commenting on how (for the most part) those who answer ads are good, honest people – except for a little white lying when it comes to personal ads. My personal favorite was the Vietnam veteran/cranky redneck looking for a 270 lb. 60 year old woman.
