Surreal and non-predictable feel-good film with a moving ending

Wrongly advertised as a comedy, "Linoleum" offers a surreal insight into the life of one man. Ihe film starts as a simple family tale about a divorsing parents who are both trying to chase their dreams and also their rebellious teenage daughter. In some scenes it almost appears as a fairy tale, but as we dive deeper an deeper into the story, we tell ourselves "I feel there is more to this film than it seems" and we would be right. It all boils down to the last 15 minutes, where the final plot twist is shot so beautifully with great music, that the whole film becomes incredibly moving and endearing. I would definitely recommend this film, bacause what looks like as a strange series of events in the begining is actually an emotional lovely but still modest film in the end.

Never More Than Average, and A Pale and Hazy Shadow of Much Better Films

The mediocre host of a children's science TV show resolves to change his life when part of a space rocket crashes into his house.---Linoleum is a sloppily thrown-together cocktail of a bunch of other, better, films all at once: Donnie Darko, American Beauty, Synecdoche New York, Eternal Sunshine, Vanilla Sky, The Notebook...: everything about it just seems a cut-price version of something else, and I couldn't get past seeing Jim Gaffigan himself as a knock-off Phillip Seymour Hoffman. And though I warmed at times to some of the characters as it dawdled along, it never at any point rises above that summation.By the time the twist-of-sorts comes along, that all the characters are just the main couple at different stages of their lives, I was way too bored to care, and nothing about the ending feels convincing or makes any sense. I feel it could have been realized much better in a short story format than acted out on the screen this way. The idea needed far better writing and filmmaking to work the magic it needed to pull it off.Not a terrible film, but it's unimaginative, uninspired, poorly thought-out and instantly forgettable.And I've still no idea why it's called Linoleum.
