I can't recommend this movie enough.

Smart and sensitive.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

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.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club

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