Just as the name of the film title is Scot is different and spelt with one ‘t’ so is the couple looking after the boy Scot (Noah Bernett).  The couple, Sam (Tom Cavanaugh) and Ed (Ben Shenkman) is not stereotypical gay couple. A former pro-hockey player, Sam is a straight acting sports broadcaster.  When Ed’s nephew, Scot (Noah Bernett) enters their lives following the death of the boy’s mother, things change.  Scot knits, sings musical numbers, wears make-up and kisses everyone freely. 

Director Lynd’s film is intriguing for the main reason that the audience has no idea where the film is leading to – at least till the last half hour.  Charming, tearful and with winning performances, especially by the boy Noah Bernett, BREAKFAST WITH SCOT may be the most pleasing gay comedy this year.  The message is a universal one about coming to terms with oneself.  The best line in the film is uttered by Sam: “We are all a little sissy around here!” The film is also full of little surprises such as Scot learning to fight and impressing Sam with figure skating.  The film also contains cameos by Canadian icons like Sheila McCarthy, Graham Greene and Megan Follows.
