'DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES'
Rated PG-13 for fantasy action/violence and some language.
What it’s about: The classic geek game gets the big, fun, action-adventure treatment on the big screen.
The kid attractor factor: The creatures, the fantasy, the adventure, oh my!
Good lessons/bad lessons: Failure is an option, and it's OK.
Violence: Some fantasy action and violence, perilous situations, fighting, etc., but no gore.
Language: A swear word or two.
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: '80s-style fantasy epic that proves to be fun for the whole family, but probably a bit too violent and scary for little kids.

Violence: None
Language: Swearing throughout.
Sex: Sexual references.
Drugs: Oblique references to drugs.
Parents’ advisory: This is too mature for kids. OK for teens.
