Rating: B- --
As a way of saying 'people sure are wacky,' Gibson's movie succeeds, although it goes on a bit long.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Where does one go to find all of these bizarre folks? Filmmaker Michael Ferris Gibson didn't have to look much further than Criagslist.org.
Film Threat
A diverting infomercial.
Village Voice
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The disorganized documentary 24 Hours on Craigslist is primarily a stroll through human desire as manifested on the popular Internet site Craigslist.org.
New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
It plays too much like a paid ad. Everybody interviewed had a positive experience. But what about those who didn't?
New York Post
Rating: 3/5 --
I can't imagine 24 Hours on Google being any more or less compelling.

A fun and free-form celebration of the site's communal spirit and only-in-San Francisco ethos.

Description by Ryko Distribution:
The community web site Craigslist.org has become one of the most popular sites on the internet, boasting 10 million active users and 3 billion pages views per month 24 HOURS ON CRAIGSLIST documents a random day-in-the-life on Craigslist San Francisco, where what has evolved into the world's largest community board began back in 1995.
An Ethel Merman drag queen searches for the perfect backup band for her Led Zeppelin covers. Doors for sale, one night stands, compulsive roomates, transsexual erotic services. The mundane and the sublime, the ridiculous and the profound, all come together to paint a portrait of a thriving, humanistic community in the midst of an ever-accelerating culture.
