Suffused with the bargain-basement blandness of an Afterschool Special, Breakfast with Scot is the kind of gay-themed pic that won't ruffle the feathers of a granny in Manitoba, though it's bound to make more discerning auds groan.

For its courage to address a ticklish subject with warmhearted humor, Breakfast With Scot, adapted from a novel by Michael Downing, deserves a light round of applause.
A feel-good tale with undeniably good intentions, this Canadian comedy-drama doesn't really manage to convince on any level.
Deserves sympathetic attention, if only for the family-values specifics loaded into the story, and the way mildmannered stars Ben Shenkman (Angels in America) and Tom Cavanagh (Ed) embrace their instructional roles.
Cavanagh, best known for the TV show "Ed," is terrific--as is young Bernett, who steals the show without hogging it.
Has a sitcom format, but complex emotions and perceptions keep breaking through the surface in an engaging, thoughtful manner.
