From 121 postings made on August 4, 2003, filmmaker Michael Ferris Gibson charted random San Francisco denizens ranging from the ordinary to the outrageous: Apartment-dwellers seeking roommates; a drag perfomer searching for musicians; a would-be mom looking for the right sperm donor; hedonists looking for sex partners; an engaged couple seeking a rabbi to perform their wedding ceremony. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
It plays too much like a paid ad. Everybody interviewed had a positive experience. But what about those who didn't?
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Personalities are as engaging as they are diverse, while zippy, well-photographed package is never dull.
-
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
The disorganized documentary 24 Hours on Craigslist is primarily a stroll through human desire as manifested on the popular Internet site Craigslist.org.
-
R. Emmet Sweeney, Village Voice
A diverting infomercial.
-
John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle
A fun and free-form celebration of the site's communal spirit and only-in-San Francisco ethos.
