Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Noelle Sophy 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!

lorriebeauchamp We need more of this type of average-Joe content, although this Joe is far from average. As I watched this tender and inspiring documentary, I realized how cowardly we have all become by ingesting so many fear-based stories from the media and Hollywood alike. We don't trust each other anymore, and our default button is set on "be suspicious", which is really too bad. Joseph Garner is a modern hero. He shows admirable tolerance, an ability to suspend judgement, and the compassion of someone whose ego hasn't replaced his heart. I laughed, I cried, I felt so inspired by the end of this movie that I wanted to go out in the street and start hugging people. I have grown too cynical, and Joseph Garner reminded me that cynicism is a dangerous stance, putting our own humanity at risk. We can't turn on each other, or isolate ourselves, without suffering huge repercussions on a global basis. As we move into the next year, may we all find it in our hearts to be more open to strangers, to reach out with help when we can, and certainly to embrace community whenever and wherever we find it.

jasper uk 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.

MickyFin As much as I looked forward to watching this, I was shocked that there was no mention about his calling credit.I myself struggle to put calling credit on my phone.Sometimes, I go a month or two without any calling credit at all, and while I do get credit, its only due to my mother feeling sorry for me.So my question is, how can this guy, go out there, unarmed, and unprepared, survive without calling credit on his phone.As asked above, how would this individual manage without any calling credit, or the land-line he is reliant on.?I feel that the whole DVD and film is a fares, and that there are people out there that need more exposure! Period!
