A Smart Balance of Seriousness and Humor
prevnextDUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES (2023): The wonderful thing about roleplaying with friends is that it is both deeply silly and deathly serious. The wonderful thing about HONOR AMONG THIEVES is that the filmmakers understand that balance from start to finish. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/Ic7yUXr12w

Better Thank Your Expecting
prevnext'DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES' is better than you're expecting. Laugh out loud hilarious, inspired action, and creative visuals from start to finish.
It's not perfect but I would easily watch more of these. Never doubt Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley #SXSW pic.twitter.com/burJBwSuz4

Outstanding
prevnextDUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES: Uh, folks? This is outstanding. A tight as a drum screenplay brought to life by a game cast. Hilarious without ever feeling embarrassed by the material. I fell in love early and it never waned.

Raimi Comparisons Are Never a Bad Thing
prevnextDUNGEONS & DRAGONS: You know how the game often gets made up as it goes along? The movie has a lot of that energy, which is a blessing and a curse. Best stuff reminded me of Raimi, worst of Boll. More in Sunday review.

A Hoot
prevnextDUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES is a hoot. I could never recap the plot on the fly but it wholeheartedly embraces its weird fantasy/comedy tone. Please note that I have never played D&D in my life but I still had a great time. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/vzc4qwJBUF

Fun But Clunky
prevnextDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fun silly time! Storytelling can a bit clunky at times, especially for me who’s unfamiliar with the terminologies and lore. But it’s quite funny and once it hits its dragon set piece and especially the third act, it’s a BLAST! #SXSW pic.twitter.com/glm6GHgb6R
