Village Voice
Cavanagh, best known for the TV show "Ed," is terrific--as is young Bernett, who steals the show without hogging it. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Has a sitcom format, but complex emotions and perceptions keep breaking through the surface in an engaging, thoughtful manner. - 60
New York Daily News
With witty throwaway bits and Cavanagh's fast delivery, "Scot" gets away with a third-act dip into hearts and platitudes. Otherwise, it's refreshingly snarky and quick. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
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. - 50
The New York Times
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. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
Why is Breakfast With Scot in theaters instead of set for broadcast on the Lifetime, Hallmark or ABC Family channels? - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A feel-good tale with undeniably good intentions, this Canadian comedy-drama doesn't really manage to convince on any level. - 50
New York Post
Bland and timid.
