      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Though Breakfast with Scot is a well-intentioned movie with some charming performances, it suffers from sitcom humor and predictable setups.

      Audience Member This movie was not that bad except it did not display any charm or romance with the two closeted dads. I was waiting for these guys to show some interest in each other but it took the end for a fleeting kiss which was so phony. Young Scot, was fairly poised as the flamboyant boy who loved musicals and feminine costumes. Couldn't someone fix this boy's teeth. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member nobody acts all high and mighty about cheaper by the dozen but suddenly this is supposed to be a psychologically gripping work of art and gets 52% when it is just a cutesy movie? Let the gays have cutesy. We deserve it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed this movie, and even tho' it might be considered predictable in some ways, in others I thought it was unique and well-played. I don't think heart-warming is a bad thing either. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member New family tradition in our house around Xmas cuz "everybody's a little sissy around here". Great story that hits a lot of the greatest "gay family" squirmy moments with smarts and wit. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Although it is cliched, but it was still charmingly great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it a lot. It was fun and sweet and innocent and that all because of Noah Bernett who nailed it as Scot. A family movie about a-not-very-typical family! It was so refreshing just for that! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Anna King Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald Breakfast with Scot isn't much on originality, but it is sweet enough to overcome the most cynical skeptic. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe It lacks the psychological realism of certain decent dramas and is too reliant on cheap pratfalls and Cavanagh's pinched approach to comedy. Rated: 2/4 Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Amanda Jane Stern Film Inquiry While not without its one big flaw, Breakfast With Scot is one of those movies that just makes you feel good. It takes some heady subject matter and turns it into a lighthearted holiday movie that is well-acted and thoroughly enjoyable. Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune Although it dishes up an original premise and tries to mine laughs from a setup most studios wouldn't have touched with a 10-foot feather boa, it stumbles when it comes to generating any real laughs. Rated: 2/4 Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Austin Kennedy Sin Magazine One of the worst concepts for a movie in the history of cinema. I can't really think of anyone who would like this pathetic comedy since the target audience would be put off by the homosexual angle. Avoid. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 3, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
