Critics Consensus

A swing for the comedy fences, The Hawk may miss more often than it connects but still finds moments of the chaotic charm that made Will Ferrell a standout.

Audience Says

The Hawk doesn’t quite soar to prime sport comedy-heights, but Will Ferrell keeps the laughs rolling through the rough patches.

It's an amiably shambly golfing comedy that finds him doing all the familiar Will Ferrell things. Although he's an acquired taste I've never fully acquired, I found myself laughing enough to watch all 10 half-hour episodes.

The Hawk takes a formula that once worked well for Ferrell -- the charming but brash man-child that stumbles his way into success -- and flattens it into a parody of itself.

3/5

Will Ferrell’s answer to Happy Gilmore is as much bogey as it is birdie, but there are some tasteless treats to be had. Would have been better as a film, though.

If you are a fan of Will Ferrell, golf, comedy, or all three, The Hawk is an off-the-wall, hilarious comedy series that hits a hole-in-one

What’s that saying about comedy? Oh yeah: Timing is everything. That’s bad news for Ferrell, still doing his big, blobby idiot act, playing a past-his-prime PGA star hankering for a comeback.

Love Will Ferrell to death, but this was a tough one to get through. Just not that funny or fun. [Full review in Spanish]

Hilarious & Original. Not what I expected. Great job.

Uma experiência morna que nunca chega a descolar verdadeiramente. Embora o elenco se esforce e a premissa tenha algum interesse, a falta de ritmo e a execução genérica deixam o resultado final preso num meio-termo esquecível.

Lonnie Hawkins plays against his son in a major golf tournament to complete his Career Grand Slam. Typical Will Farrell humor with a likable character.
