VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

flclhack I have never written a review for a movie before in my life, but when I stood up after finishing this movie, I had a grin on my face and a tear rolling down my cheek. Never before have I been so touched by a film as I was by 'Breakfast With Scot'.Obviously not being a movie critic, my mind is having issues putting the feeling I have into words. The acting was superb, with very believable characters. And the children! Oh, the children! Every single one of those kids really took over their role, and although I didn't see as much of them as I wanted to, they each made me feel like there could be a whole movie just about them. And yes, I even liked the slightly homophobic (but in a cute way) neighbor boy. He was actually my favorite character out of the whole thing.The main thing I can say is that this is a beautiful movie. Everything about it felt real. This is a movie you can relate to whether you're gay or not. It shows how not only the gay community is evolving, but how the world is evolving right along side it. The story unfolds in a way where you find yourself relating to the ideals and logic of each of the characters in turn, and in the end, you will most definitely leave embodied with a sense that the world is as simple as you could ever want it to be. And it is.

Toadinthehole On a par with the Belgium film La Vie en Rose and influenced by it too I'm quite sure.Camp movie, very amusing and emotionally engaging. The principal boy a gem. The two leading males unusual, off beat, not stereotypes and a great supporting cast with good cameos here and there. I particularly liked the boy bully turned protector and his cutting line on the stairs at the end which must have been such fun to say. One he'll remember all his life.So refreshing not to see children being patronized, but appreciated for who they are and that scene with the well meaning school mistress saying "he needs to watch more TV to get "other" role models" just sais it all! Yes this is a Xmas film, but one worth watching again & again anytime anyplace. And one for the kids too.Good on you Canada. The Brits(of whom I'm one) couldn't make this kind of film if we tried as we're far too consumed, controlled and retentive. When I saw La Vie en Rose I thought the same. We're good at making costume dramas for export and kitchen kitsch but an Anglo Saxon Breakfast with Scot would have far too much salt & vinegar I feel.Sweetest film. And those pancakes!

stl4646 If the word 'gay' scares you, then go away and watch something else. Contrary to what the right wing nuts say/think, there are no hidden, extreme agendas in this or most other gay movies.. just as there are no extreme agendas in movies with black actors or any other 'minority'. Gay folks are everywhere, even in pro sports, so it's pleasant and realistic to see a gay, professional athlete portrayed in this film, especially since he's a hockey player and hockey's my favorite sport. Tom Cavanaugh does a nice job. The fact that he is from Ontario makes it all the better. Enjoy the film. It's cute and harmless. Open your mind.

JonathanWalford I haven't read the book so I only have to go on what I saw. The premise is great - fresh and funny. A masculine gay couple end up as guardians of their effeminate 11 year old nephew and try to make a man out of him. The story is less about changing the nephew and more about changing the gay couple, in particular the partner who is an ex-Toronto Maple Leafs hockey player. The movie was enjoyable, light hearted, and good natured but it lacked something -- it resembled an after-school special at times, especially towards the end. There are too many characters with bit parts that don't make enough of an impact in the film. There is a neighbourhood tough kid who inexplicably becomes a friend of the flamboyant nephew and co-workers who come in and out of the film but never really say anything meaningful. An awkward meeting with a school teacher results in her suggesting the boy watch TV to find other role models -- a very clumsy scene without cause or precedence. The writer and director needed to streamline the movie and identify scenes that needed to be pumped up to give the story some poignancy. I was never quite drawn in, brought to tears, laughed out loud or was worried that things might not work out. Its a sweet story but could have been better.
