David Sims The Atlantic 08/06/2019
It's short on big laughs, but admirable nonetheless for [Will] Ferrell's ability to disappear into his characters. Go to Full Review

3/5
[Will] Ferrell is still of course very funny. But the short, whirlwind special seems to have left so much on the cutting room floor. Go to Full Review
Jeremy Stahl Slate 08/06/2019
The HBO special has more laugh lines per joke than the mediocre-but-beloved Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, more heart than the funny-but-formulaic Blades of Glory, and more potential staying power than the crude and forgettable Semi Pro. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 08/06/2019
For a documentary made for cancer survivors, it's more than enough to be adequately amusing. Go to Full Review
Allen Barra The Daily Beast 08/06/2019
Ferrell Takes the Field is laid-back humor, affectionate towards the game and those who work in it. It's fun rather than funny. Go to Full Review

04/10/2016 There is not enough good material in this stunt to sufficiently fill the 49 minutes. See more 04/03/2016 A 50-minute TV movie done for a charity which gives scholarships to young adult cancer survivors, its hard to hate Ferrell Takes the Field. It helps that it has an easy going charm about it, where Will Ferrell alternates between being a genuinely decent guy and playing a cocky asshole on talking-head interviews. Most of the lines land, especially involving the Oakland A's manager Billy Beane, although Ferrell tends to let some drag out (notably one about how he names his pitches). Some of the games get the short shrift, which is unfortunate, but its a good time-killer for flying across an ocean.

See more nick e @nicksmovies93 10/05/2015 It's rather short for a big day, and it may be edited pretty badly, but it stays afloat thanks to Ferrell's typical humor. See more 09/28/2015 Further proof that he's always funny even in this unscripted format of an actual charity fundraiser. See more Read all reviews
