    Los Angeles Times | Kevin Thomas

    Has a sitcom format, but complex emotions and perceptions keep breaking through the surface in an engaging, thoughtful manner. Read full review

    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. Read full review
