"DIGGER" IS BIGGER THAN IT SEEMS!
Author: Collins from Wetumpka, AL
11 April 1999
I rented "Digger" not expecting much more than an eighty-minute kiddie
flick
with a few corny one-liners and maybe a nice, little story hidden
somewhere
deep in there. I was pleasantly surprised when, as soon as the credits
rolled, I found myself crying over this thing! It was amazing! Sure, it
does fall prey to a lot of the same-o-same-o kiddie flick conventions, but
the over-all effect of the story I found to be overwhelming. (NOTE: This
could just be because I'm partial to buddy films.)
Adam Hann-Byrd is often staring off into space, but at least with this
character that doesn't seem to hurt much. (Maybe he was even doing it on
purpose. Who knows?) Joshua Jackson showed an amazing ammount of range
compared to some of the more smart-mouthed roles he's conformed to
nowadays.
Still, my one problem with the cast is the almost non-appearance of
Leslie
Neilsen. He's such a great dramatic actor (despite all that slapstick
mess)
and this could have been the role of the decade for him. Oh, well. Maybe
in "Digger 2", huh?
"Digger" is not the best movie on earth, but it does deserve a look if
you're into the family-tearjerker-buddy film genre. Not bad at all, guys.
Digger is a deep, rich masterpiece which reveals itself slowly.

"Digger" is a hauntingly beautiful film, with subtle magic in it. The
musical score is gorgeous, and the visuals will help you remember what a
mysterious, exotic world our planet is. Joshua Jackson gives the best
performance by a young actor in the 1990s, in his portrayal of Billy, a
young mage who befriends the lonely title character (Adam
Hann-Byrd).
This is a movie that gets better with repeated viewings. The only other
film
of its kind that has similar power is 1995's "The Cure".
