Product description

Product Description

The relationship between two career-minded men is put to the test by the surprise arrival of a unique child in the adaptation of Michael Downing's best-selling novel, Breakfast With Scot.

Eric, a former hockey star, now a closeted sports announcer, is initially freaked out when his partner Sam ends up with custody of 11-year old Scot. It turns out Scot isn't your average child - seemingly 'gayer' than not only Eric and Sam, but perhaps even Liberace, he poses a very distinct challenge to the otherwise reserved homo household! Recognising all the high and lows that come with being a parent, whilst also re-affirming that true love really does transcend all sexuality, Breakfast With Scot is a crowd-pleasing winner!

Review

FOUR STARS - A lively, realistic tone helps make this Toronto-set comedy much more than we expect, stirring in some thoughtful themes and honest emotion... the filmmakers take a refreshingly layered route through the story, breathing new life into the fish-out-of-water foster child genre in the process. It's the well-rounded characters that make this work, as they never settle into the stereotypes they could so easily have become. And the cast is likeable and engaging --Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

A real feel good film

19 September 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This film was an impulse buy I’d seen it and thought why not, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The film centers on a gay couple one of has trouble accepting that he’s gay to the outside world, they become careers of a young boy who is camper than Christmas. While the film has serious and touching moments there are plenty of laughs to balance things out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it

"I only like musicals"

18 December 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

`Breakfast with Scot' is an amusing and heart-warming (yuk!) tale set in modern-day Toronto. Sam's a lawyer; his other half Eric is a sports commentator and ex-hockey player. Into their lives arrives eleven-year-old Scot, Sam's brother's dead ex-girlfriend's son. Sam and Eric have to look after Scot until Sam's brother comes to collect him.

So far, so good storyline. The twist of course is that Scot is not your `normal' eleven-year-old. I won't give the game away, but when Scot tells Sam and Eric that he only likes musicals, you'll get the picture. Into the mix is the fact that Eric is very much in the closet.

The film features fine acting from all concerned. Viewers may recognise the actor playing Sam (Ben Shenkman) from `Angels in America'. I am told by my partner that the guy who plays Eric (Tom Cavanagh) was in `Northern Exposure'. They have a good supporting cast.

There's much mirth in this tale. It would make a Christmas present for any gay friend. Alas, there are no extras.

Happy Ending Seeker

very enjoyable...

11 October 2009

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

... way to spend 90 mins or so. This "small film" has a big heart and made me laugh & cry & cheer!
Very closeted Eric & Sam unexpectedly have flamboyant & uninhibited child Scot thrust upon them & their lives are never the same again.
Scot's only 11yrs old - whether he really is gay or not is besides the point. What causes the friction is that he's the complete opposite of his two new "dads" - he's not learned to change his behaviour to suit the opinions of others. Will his time with the adults change their lives - you betcha!
The actors playing Eric & Scot give perfect performances and nail their respective characters. The role of Sam is a bit grey I thought, he was supposed to be the more sensitive of the two but he actually often seemed the colder more aloof character. Eric may have disliked the kid at first sight but at least it was some response, whereas Sam seemed just blank.
Another reviewer also noted the lack of chemistry between Eric & Sam and I would have to agree... unless the director was trying to show how the "keep your distance" attitude the two adopted in public all the time had spilled over into their private time as well? Not sure - but Sam's pale performance in what should have been an important 3-way relationship, is the only thing that stops me giving this 5 stars.
As long as you're not expecting a strong romance angle between the 2 male leads, you should thoroughly enjoy this film.

Don Duncan

Nice.

30 August 2009

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Not the best gay flick I've seen, but still a worthwhile viewing. It's a nice film and a slightly different situation with the child being effiminate instead of the adults. Good gay films with children have been done better several times, such as "Bear Cub", and "Adored" to name a couple. The difference here is that now the child is (apparently) gay while the homophobic gay couple, suddenly left to raise him, is trying to come to terms.

I expected better. At times the film felt contrived and was predictable. A lot of fuss was made over the endorsement by the canadian hockey league.

Worth a look and something slightly different but not a need to own, (which I do, bought it first). Enjoy

A lightweight but fun romp comedy about the perils of adoption

11 January 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Make a mistake form-filling and you get landed with a kid the wrong age. And what a kid! The Auntie Mame of adoptees, full enough of zest to wear anyone out. Lots of laughs and we know it will end happily. Some stereotyping, but who cares.

Very funny and very sweet.

15 October 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This film was a little surprise. It's very funny and very sweet and it's a good choice for the festive season. It's almost as nice as Patrik 1.5. And in comparison to most gay films out there, Breakfast with Scot has good acting!

Breakfast with Scott

23 February 2010

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The final impression I got was that this movie had been edited so badly that critical connections were missing. For instance, the boyfriend, who was dead against Scott coming to live with him & his partner, seems to have done an about face and become Scott's surrogate father. Why and when did this happen?
Ultimately, quite enjoyable and quite amusing, but only worth getting if the price is right.
