Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

2023

A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

Ages 12+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent fantasy combat, dangerous creatures, executions and undead imagery are balanced by humor, but the intensity, frightening villains, grief, and death/resurrection suit mature tweens and teens. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

The film prominently uses the Dungeons & Dragons game world, but it does not function as a direct sales pitch or heavily feature real-world products and brands.

Death of a character3/5
Why this rating?

Ed's wife is dead before the story, corpses are temporarily resurrected, a mass undead threat is planned, and Holga briefly dies before being revived.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

Minimal gore; some injuries are sustained, but the focus is on magical effects rather than realistic blood or dismemberment.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Uses occasional mild profanity and insults appropriate for a PG-13 rating.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

References to magical orders and pantheons, consistent with Dungeons & Dragons world-building, not real-world religion.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

Past marriages and family relationships matter, with a possible relationship developing between Doric and Simon; romance is secondary to the adventure.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Fantasy danger is frequent: undead threats, a dragon, executions, dungeons, curses, and a character’s fatal injury. The comedic adventure tone limits the intensity for many viewers.

Sexual content & nudity1/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild innuendo typical of an adventure film; no explicit sexual content or nudity.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

There are brief fantasy-tavern drinking references, but substance use is minor and not central, instructional, or strongly glamorized.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Frequent fantasy battles, magical attacks, executions, assassins, imprisonment, dangerous escapes, and a character being fatally injured; violence is stylized and often comedic.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience5/5
Why this rating?

Characters repeatedly confront imprisonment, monsters, villains, magical danger, and personal failures, with courage grounded in protecting family and community.

Creativity & curiosity5/5
Why this rating?

Imaginative magic, shapeshifting, fantastical creatures, inventive heist plans, puzzles, relics, and collaborative problem-solving are central to the film.

Diverse representation3/5
Why this rating?

Features a diverse ensemble cast of characters with varied backgrounds and roles, reflecting a broad spectrum of personalities.

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

It may encourage familiarity with collaborative fantasy storytelling and problem-solving, but it is entertainment rather than an educational work.

Kindness & empathy4/5
Why this rating?

The team shows loyalty, care, sacrifice, and protective love, especially toward Kira and one another; emotional support helps characters overcome selfish motives.

Positive messages4/5
Why this rating?

Strong themes favor friendship, family, selflessness, teamwork, accountability, redemption, and using wealth to help ordinary people rather than pursuing selfish gain.

Good role models4/5
Why this rating?

The flawed heroes grow more selfless, protect one another, rescue Kira, oppose tyranny, and accept responsibility, despite theft and past mistakes.
