I’m going to have to be perfectly honest here, guys. I totally nodded off at least twice during In the Grey. I wasn’t really prepared for that, as it wasn’t like I was feeling profoundly tired when I entered the theater. Although I suppose I was a little restless the night before. Anyway, it started off as a fairly promising caper, even if I didn’t fully understand everyone’s motivations. So now I would appreciate it if somebody could give me a synopsis of the middle and the very end. In the meantime, I remain very much in the grey myself!

Grade: I Guess It Lived Up to Its Title!

I’ve never played Dungeons & Dragons, so my previous cultural exposure to this franchise is mostly the Community episodes built around it. To the point that in the leadup to seeing Honor Among Thieves, I kept wanting to call it Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. So… was this movie better than the first Greendale edition of D&D? Of course not! But was it better than the sequel episode, “Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons”? Eh, I guess so.

I ate mozzarella sticks and drank Mountain Dew while watching. It turns out that Doing the Dew is about as treacherous as the quest these characters went on.

Grade: A Sufficient Amount of Dragons and Emotional Beats
