Diggers

Director Katherine Dieckmann keeps everything moving smoothly, and the appeal of Rudd in wisecracking mode can’t be underestimated. But if you’ve ever sat through an Ed Burns film, there’s nothing here you haven’t seen before.

Fresh as today's catch and about as tasty.

I can't recommend this movie enough.

Smart and sensitive.

The larky spirit of camaraderie lingers long after the haze of the film's many passed joints dissipates.

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.

“Diggers” won’t appeal to everyone. It came and went at the box office, yet has a dedicated cult following that grows in number with each passing year. It goes far in pointing out you only know what great friends you have when things are at their worst.

Diggers is all shell and no neck and belly.

A very detailed portrait of a time and place that is about to change forever. This is a Long Island of 1976 in someone's memory, like a faded Polaroid in an old shoebox.

Intimate '70s indie drama won't interest kids.
