Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves opens in theaters on March 31, 2023.
Even if you've never rolled a 20-sided die, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fun-filled and wholly accessible fantasy adventure that leans into the spectacle and silliness of D&D campaigns. Sure, there are plenty of in-jokes and Easter eggs to delight hardcore role players, but they never come at the risk of losing newcomers. It’s a movie that’s rich with imaginative quests and colorful characters, and together they bring realms from Baldur's Gate to Icewind Dale alive – like a tamer, family-friendly version of the excellent The Legend of Vox Machina animated series.
The cast is very clearly having a blast playing familiar character types you'd select from at the start of any home D&D campaign – in this case, a heist-like quest to rescue a kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a treacherous lord. Chris Pine shines brightest as the wisecracking Edgin, a lute-strumming man with all the plans – plans which usually need a few iterations, adding more humor as he improvises on the fly. Michelle Rodriguez is her typically badass self as the axe-swinging warrior Holga, and Regé-Jean Page steals scenes as the virtuous paladin Xenk, who speaks in eye-rolling prophecies. Everyone – including Justice Smith and Sophia Lillis, respectively playing an amusing self-doubting sorcerer not-so-supreme and a straight-faced druid who doesn't trust humans – falls into rhythm as unexpected teammates with a common goal and contrasting personalities.

Writers and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein display a passion for Wizards of the Coast's famous tabletop roleplaying gam...
