What Parents Need to Know
About Diggers
Parents need to know that although this little indie drama stars comedic actors like Paul Rudd and Ken Marino, it's actually an intimate, mostly serious look at the lives of a group of 1970s Long Island clamdiggers -- so it's not likely to appeal to teens unless they're fans of the cast (what, your kids aren't into clamdigging?). The thirtysomething working-class friends explore mature subjects like death, adultery, unplanned pregnancy, job insecurity, promiscuity, and marital problems. Drug and alcohol use and adult language are constant.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how both people and institutions behave in the movie. What's the movie's message about what big companies do to independent workers? Do you agree? Why or why not? And how do the characters react to difficult issues like grief and complicated parent-child relationships? Families can also discuss the movie's '70s setting. Do you think this is an accurate depiction of that era? Do you think the same story could have been told in a contemporary setting? Why or why not?
