I do like Will Ferrell. I think he's pretty funny - for the most part. The hedge in my comment isn't really about his talent, but about the movies in general. After all, comedy is very hard to do well and the somewhat "campy" gags are risky.
The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - the movie (the story) is just the foundation for the gags. Don't look for anything too spectacular there. Anyway, there were some very funny ideas. Ricky says grace by praying to the "lord baby Jesus". There's a whole thing about the fact that Jesus grew up and was no longer a baby. This was pretty funny stuff. That and few other scenes (really must have been tough to do with a straight face) make the movie worth the effort.
