Critic Reviews

Rudd is sweet and funny; Ron Eldard and Josh Hamilton are great as the town's aimless stud muffin and philosophizing pothead, respectively. But the movie belongs to Ken Marino, who is riotously funny.Full Review

Village Voice

A quintessential American independent movie, Diggers isn't going to change the history of cinema. But it has integrity. It feels like life.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

What separates Diggers from its kin - notably the Ed Burns movies - is the testosterone balance of its masculine script and Dieckmann's sensitive direction. Maybe we need more buddy movies by women.Full Review

Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

As befits a heartfelt ode to working-class values, Diggers puts in lots of hard, honest work that finally pays off in a wholly predictable yet unexpectedly moving conclusion.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion A.V. Club

This seriously funny group portrait of third-generation clam diggers (and their wives and sisters) is fresh as today's catch and about as tasty. Its '70s soundtrack positively swaggers.Full Review
