Summary: Eric lives for all things hockey. Now in his thirties, he's managed to turn his stint as an ex- Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator for sports TV. He's living the dream! But when Eric's boyfriend Sam announces that they're to become temporary guardians of a young boy, Eric's comfortable world shatters. Enter Scot -- aEric lives for all things hockey. Now in his thirties, he's managed to turn his stint as an ex- Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as commentator for sports TV. He's living the dream! But when Eric's boyfriend Sam announces that they're to become temporary guardians of a young boy, Eric's comfortable world shatters. Enter Scot -- a recently orphaned, swishy 11-year-old sissy-of-a-boy -- and Eric's mirror opposite. Freaked out by Scot's 'joie de vivre,' Eric and Sam gently nudge Scot away from scented hand cream and all things pink, towards a more 'acceptable' pastime – hockey. But after Scot's disastrous first game, Eric begins to rethink the compromises he's made in his own life in order to be 'accepted.' (Regent Releasing)… Expand

Critic Reviews

Chuck Wilson

Cavanagh, best known for the TV show "Ed," is terrific--as is young Bernett, who steals the show without hogging it. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Has a sitcom format, but complex emotions and perceptions keep breaking through the surface in an engaging, thoughtful manner. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

A crowd-pleasing comedy that makes up for its formulaic, sitcom-ready premise with likable performances and an inviting sense of humor. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Bland and timid. Read full review

David Wiegand

Why is Breakfast With Scot in theaters instead of set for broadcast on the Lifetime, Hallmark or ABC Family channels? Read full review

Frank Scheck

A feel-good tale with undeniably good intentions, this Canadian comedy-drama doesn't really manage to convince on any level. Read full review

Bob Mondello

It would be churlish to parse the logic of the underlying situation too closely when all the filmmakers are really after is a heartwarming little object lesson in tolerance. Read full review

Watch this with full knowledge that it's not going to thrill, and it will provide pure pleasure in the character of Scot. Fresh, human, flawed, lovable, young actor Noah Bernett delivers a gem of a performance in a challenging role.

A gentle and playful comedy,the acting is solid,in addition to the main about Scot, the love scenes of two men is very romantic and simple .The kiss scene at the end of the movie from two dads is one scene worth the wait.
