Well, I think *A* film could be made, but not *This* film. Dorkness Rising deals with rules imbalance, "useless" classes, and the gamist/narrativist debate, and 4E seems to be VERY balanced, VERY gamist, and very much in a mindset that every class has something of equal value to do at all times.

There's plenty of humor to be found in 4E, though. Maybe next movie.
