Will Ferrell takes the lead in Netflix’s new comedy The Hawk, where he plays a disgraced ex-golf prodigy. Critical reception has been brutal. Pundits claim the movie lacks laughs entirely. The Guardian blasted it as dated while The Hollywood Reporter argued Ferrell and his well-chosen cast were squandered in a half-baked golf satire. Variety Australia even called it a weak repeat of his Talladega Nights formula. Reviews confirm the movie holds a dismal rating on Rotten Tomatoes. On another front, Yahoo Lifestyle Canada spotlighted Ferrell’s sudden appearance as George W. Bush on Today, a cameo that sparked immediate online debate.
