Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a 2023 American fantasy heist comedy film based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. I know nothing about the game, though back in the '70s I tried without success to find somebody to play with. The movie is a straight-up adventure film, needing no knowledge at all of the game. Great fun, this movie. Nicely done, with good action sequences and comic elements that aren't detracting from the quest. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant star. I watched it on Paramount+.

The Guardian calls it a "riotously enjoyable fantasy adventure." NPR has a positive review. 93% of Rotten Tomatoes audience reviewers loved it.

DeleteIn the mid-80s, a lot of my friends were playing the game. I tried to get into it, but didn'th8ave the time to devote to it. Sounds like a fun film, though.
