  Craigslist Joe is one of those documentaries that has an interesting idea, but leaves you wanting more. I enjoyed watching it, and it was really wonderful to see that side of human nature, which is almost nonexistent nowadays. With being said, the film lacks in many areas, and it could have been much better than what we got. Don't get me wrong, it was really cool to see that side of people come out, but the main character, Joe doesn't let the people truly involved in the picture, and it all seems too quick to make a truly compelling and memorable documentary. The people that Joe meets are wonderful, but there could have been given a bit more time on-screen. Craigslist Joe makes you feel good, but I personally feel that this film is a bit too short and good have been longer to really let this experience to sink in. The kindness that people express in the film is totally amazing and unique, and is what is missing in the world. Is this film worth seeing? Yes, it is. However there are -plenty of little imperfections in this documentary to really make it a film to watch again and again. Sometimes, it feels cheesy only to give this subject a bit more dramatic flavor to it. For what it is, it's a well put together documentary, but at times the emotions that Joe feels is meh. The people he meets are the real stars here, and I just felt like Joe was more of a secondary character. A good little documentary, but very far from the best that I have seen. This one could have been better, much better.
