John Francis Daley’s career has come full circle. His career started by playing a Dungeons & Dragons-loving geek in the short-lived, but beloved, TV series “Freaks and Geeks.” Now, he’s the co-writer and co-director of “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” a fun adventure film full of laughs.
Alec Kerr and Jason Stevens of Smokin' J's BBQ review "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "Super Mario Bros." and "John Wick Chapter 4."
Taking a comedic approach to Dungeons & Dragons was probably the best way to bring the role-playing game work on screen. A serious take could be possible but given the improvised nature of the game, a playful tone feels appropriate. Daley, co-writer and co-director Jonathan Goldstein and co-writer Michael Gilio add enough emotional grounding to keep it from becoming a complete parody.
