Ferrell may never make Cooperstown, but he's a shoo-in for funniest guy in the U.S.

When treated as light, easy entertainment, Ferrell Takes the Field goes down just fine.

Would you rather me play nice here, given the auspices of what appears to be a highly laudable charity and Ferrell's efforts in support thereof? Or save you 49 minutes of precious time Saturday night, which might otherwise be devoted to (I dunno), sleep?

This film is a lovely mix of homage and humanizing, where the game is celebrated but also taken down a few necessary pegs, and brought back to exactly the enjoyable place it should be.

rotten:
While this latest is, at least, for a good cause, it's an awfully thin construct, one that was probably a lot more fun if you happened to attend one of the five spring training games in which the comic competed, all to raise money for charity.
