I love being right, and when I saw "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" was certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes after flopping in theaters, you know I was doing a victory lap. This hilarious fantasy heist more than earns its 91% critics' score and equally impressive 92% among audiences, and that's coming from a D&D neophyte. With "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" finally free to stream on Pluto TV, I'm hoping this slept-on gem will finally find its audience. To this day, I argue that if it had been released after "Baldur's Gate 3," there'd be no question of a sequel.
Even if you've never rolled a D20 before in your life (or don't have a clue what that is), the humor is easy to follow. I sold it to my least chronically online friend with two words: chunky dragon. I'd only played a few one-shots of Dungeons and Dragons myself back when I saw it in 2023 for that sick popcorn bucket, and I expected all the jokes to fly right over my head. What I didn't expect was for it to become one of my favorite movies of the year, not to mention the best (if only) fantasy heist movie of all time.
