Linoleum

Linoleum is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Shout! Factory Amazon Channel and Kanopy, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 86 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Jim Gaffigan sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

There is a reason Linoleum keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Linoleum land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When the host of a failing children’s science show tries to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut by building a rocket ship in his garage, a series of bizarre events occur that cause him to question his own reality. Jim Gaffigan and Rhea Seehorn lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Linoleum came out in 2023. What keeps Linoleum from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Linoleum is a strong candidate. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jim Gaffigan's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Linoleum was released in 2023, directed by Colin West. The full 101-minute film is available to watch now.
