Diggers (2006)

Set in 1976, Diggers (2006) focuses on four working-class friends living in Long Island, New York, working as independent clam diggers, just like their fathers. The disparate quartet is composed of Hunt (Paul Rudd), an inspiring photographer; Lozo (Ken Marino), the procreating husband; Cons (Josh Hamilton), druggie philosopher extraordinaire; and Jack (Ron Eldard), the womanizer. When Hunt’s father dies and everyone gathers for his funeral, the underachieving cluster of clam diggers begins to change their approach to life. Paul and Josh interject some skin in this coming of age flick, both baring their full moon clamshells while floating in a fishing boat. The duo’s flesh will have you mollusking yourself and shooting your clam chowder.
