I can't even find the right adjectives to describe this documentary. I was able to live the adventure that Joe was undertaking, living for the moment, putting trust in perfect strangers hands, and be awashed in the generosity of others. Absolutely a worthwhile watch when you feel like you have had enough of the human race and their lack of humanity. This documentary rewards you in ways you didn't think possible!

I'm suspicious of how this documentary is sold as simply a guy traveling for 30 days only using craigslist to get food, transportation and shelter. How can that be when you have such a large crew and Zack Galifianakis from 'The Hangover' as the executive producer(see list below).Produced by Emily Foster .... associate producer Zach Galifianakis .... executive producer Joseph Garner .... producer Eve Marson Singbiel .... producer Uday Sehgal .... executive producer Angelique Sheppard .... co-producerOriginal Music by David G. Garner Cinematography by Kevin Flint Film Editing by Drew Kilcoin Animation Department James Anderson .... animatorEditorial Department Dennis Alaniz .... assistant editor Jacquelyn Herbert .... assistant editor Jonathan Liebert .... digital cinema mastering Adam Ohl .... digital intermediate producer Jan Yarbrough .... digital intermediate coloristAdditionally, I'm a little suspect of the people encountered and subject matter. He just happened to stumble on some friendly jews and a family from IRAQ who talked about how Americans tell them to go home. Throw in a trip to show the New Orleans hurricane Katrina devastation and how 'artists' are rebuilding the lower 9th ward. And, don't forget the scene where he is walking through a demonstration (not certain if it's one of the 'occupy' protests).There was one guy (hippy type) with a crappy vw van that breaks down several times. This guy has several jackets and other articles of clothing that cost more than his crappy vw van. This too was very suspect to me.I was disappointed.

Watch this film as even though I have rated it 3 does not mean it didn't entertain me in parts and you should make up your own desicion, it's not like I just wasted the last 2 hours of my life completely. However this film had the opportunity to be so much more. The premise for the doc is great, a man who essentially is going to live and die by the site Craigslist to acquire food, bedding, transport and companionship. It's not that Joe doesn't set out with these intentions and deliver it's just the fact that Joe is the most boring human being ever to be followed by a camera. Uninspiring with the most generic opinions on life and the people he meets. There are some great characters but eventually you just want the camera filming them rather than old Joey Essex since he lacks any type of banter, charisma and any hustle. The fact he has to ask people for a place to stay after linking up with them made me cringe so many times, he couldn't even charm these people to offer him a place after spending hours with him, they took him in out of pity.I mean just check Craigslist and see the fruitful opportunities to make an entertaining film. It needed the sex, drugs and rock'n'roll factor and felt more like an empty dying jazz club which should of closed 50 years ago. Joe sticks to the ordinary. He doesn't fully immerse himself in the task at stake as he lacks real emotion. Towards the end he does force some out in a pathetic snifling type of way which just comes across as patronising to the hard done people he's encountered along the way. If I were to reshoot this film I would go solo with the camera, cut 50% of the crap out of him emailing and throw myself into some really sticky situations with some actually weird, crazy and messed up people. Joe stay at home with mummy next time.

Watching this left me wanting to give Joe a big hug! Ha, aside from how amazing random strangers were I love that their are people like you - Joe. That have the right kind of crazy and honest passion for the weird and wonderful people we share this world with. Feel inspired and truly blessed with the wonderful people I do have in my life. But seeing strangers putting themselves out there to help another fellow human being left me feeling happy, excited, emotional and restored faith in our chaotic world we've created.... Ineeded that.Made my day! Thank you x
