REVIEW 📽 Filled with scenarios that feel ripped from the classic tabletop game, “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” offers a lot for long-time players to enjoy without alienating the uninitiated.
out of 5 -- Rated: PG-13 -- Run time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Throughout the movie’s nearly 2½ hour runtime, you can almost hear a group of off-screen D&D players huddled around a table, cheering on their victories and laughing at their mistakes. There are plenty of both. The opening scene is essentially a player reading his character sheet, but it also sets the stakes for the adventure and adds some emotional depth.
If this all sounds “nerdy” -- it is, but that’s OK. The movie is also insanely funny. The dialogue feels deliciously ad-libbed. Jokes are allowed to breathe. The characters poke fun at absurd D&D rules, and there’s one hilarious sequence in a cemetery that I don’t want to spoil. I’ll only say, you should stick around for the credits to see it pay off.
