DAMARA — Here is a small list of things I have never done:

Skydiving

Wrestled a bear (gross)

Visited North Dakota

Played Dungeons & Dragons

That's right, I have never played one second of D&D. Not because I have something against it; I just haven't done it. I bet with the right group of people, it's a blast — but I don't know firsthand.

You must know this before you read my review of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves." This point is essential, whether you've had a weekly D&D group for the past 20 years or, like me, your knowledge comes from misinformed parents of the '80s and whatever I've picked up from "Stranger Things."

For the die-hards, I have no doubt there are so many inside jokes and Easter eggs that flew right over my head. For the noobs like myself, I am an excellent barometer of whether you may like this new movie or not. Spoiler alert, you probably will.

Here are a few reasons I had a great time traveling to the world of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves."

The chemistry

From what I understand about D&D, you and the other players need to be in step to win the game. If you run solo or don't mesh with the rest of the group, you'll leave your comrades out to dry and likely get your character killed. The cast of "Honor Among Thieves" seemed to understand this concept and put it into their performances.

Sometimes you watch a movie and the chemistry is so palpable that you assume these people continuously brunch on the weekends and have a text thread full of memes passed back and forth, on the daily. These on-screen partnerships include Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The cast of this movie, however, will not rise to the illustrious status of these other pairings, but it's clear they're having a good time.
