Review of Craigslist Joe (2012) by Samantha F — 09 Dec 2012

We all have movies that for various reasons, change us. Craigslist Joe, changed me, and became a part of me. Not only was this movie very well-made, and not only did it flow until the last moment, but I laughed, I cried, and I learned.

We all tend to follow the same path and do as we are told, but Joe steps out of the box and for one month, bases his whole well being as well as transportation, soely on the strangers of craigslist, and the random people he encountered on his way.

What surpries me? People were challeneged to be kind to someone and fulfill someones needs who had nothing to give back, and they performed! In the last scene of Craigslist Joe, Joe heads home to the place he had left one month ago, when his adventure began.

Greeted by his family, Joe's mother says,"Describe your experience in ten words or less." Joe responds with something like, "This was the most inspiring experience of my life." As he broke out into tears.

..and I felt it. This was an extremely inspiring film, and I urge everyone to watch it.
