Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Rachel Berney, Holly Dalton, Darleen Hollis, Darleen Hollis, Craig Newmark, Sadie, Mark Sargent, Mark Sargent, Daniel Trimble, and Daniel Trimble

From a single post on craigslist 8 film crews were assembled to document a random day-in-the-life of what has evolved into the world's largest community board. Not just the "Best-Of" or the "Success Stories", but a real, down-to-earth look at the fastest-growing grassroots cyber-community in the city that started it: San Francisco. (Zealot Pictures)

24 Hours on Craigslist is the ultimate people zoo.

Village Voice R. Emmet Sweeney

A diverting infomercial.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis

In essence, this is a string of intermittently interesting, occasionally funny, periodically wacky if rarely disturbing, sometimes touching though fairly boring and poorly shot human-interest stories.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

Loads of fun, especially if you use the site yourself. But it plays too much like a paid ad.

San Francisco Chronicle John McMurtrie

A series of vignettes that are edited in much the same way one might click from one random Craigslist posting to the next, the film is a fun and free-form celebration of the site's communal spirit and only-in-San Francisco ethos.

LA Weekly Ernest Hardy

Intermittently amusing, rarely illuminating and ultimately tedious documentary.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Even 82 minutes seems an eternity...The net effect is weirdly reminiscent of taking part in any online community, where a "relationship" is more like a juxtaposing of egos.
