Happy Ending Seeker

very enjoyable...

... way to spend 90 mins or so. This "small film" has a big heart and made me laugh & cry & cheer!
Very closeted Eric & Sam unexpectedly have flamboyant & uninhibited child Scot thrust upon them & their lives are never the same again.
Scot's only 11yrs old - whether he really is gay or not is besides the point. What causes the friction is that he's the complete opposite of his two new "dads" - he's not learned to change his behaviour to suit the opinions of others. Will his time with the adults change their lives - you betcha!
The actors playing Eric & Scot give perfect performances and nail their respective characters. The role of Sam is a bit grey I thought, he was supposed to be the more sensitive of the two but he actually often seemed the colder more aloof character. Eric may have disliked the kid at first sight but at least it was some response, whereas Sam seemed just blank.
Another reviewer also noted the lack of chemistry between Eric & Sam and I would have to agree... unless the director was trying to show how the "keep your distance" attitude the two adopted in public all the time had spilled over into their private time as well? Not sure - but Sam's pale performance in what should have been an important 3-way relationship, is the only thing that stops me giving this 5 stars.
As long as you're not expecting a strong romance angle between the 2 male leads, you should thoroughly enjoy this film.

"I only like musicals"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2012

`Breakfast with Scot' is an amusing and heart-warming (yuk!) tale set in modern-day Toronto. Sam's a lawyer; his other half Eric is a sports commentator and ex-hockey player. Into their lives arrives eleven-year-old Scot, Sam's brother's dead ex-girlfriend's son. Sam and Eric have to look after Scot until Sam's brother comes to collect him.

So far, so good storyline. The twist of course is that Scot is not your `normal' eleven-year-old. I won't give the game away, but when Scot tells Sam and Eric that he only likes musicals, you'll get the picture. Into the mix is the fact that Eric is very much in the closet.

The film features fine acting from all concerned. Viewers may recognise the actor playing Sam (Ben Shenkman) from `Angels in America'. I am told by my partner that the guy who plays Eric (Tom Cavanagh) was in `Northern Exposure'. They have a good supporting cast.

There's much mirth in this tale. It would make a Christmas present for any gay friend. Alas, there are no extras.

Nice.

Not the best gay flick I've seen, but still a worthwhile viewing. It's a nice film and a slightly different situation with the child being effiminate instead of the adults. Good gay films with children have been done better several times, such as "Bear Cub", and "Adored" to name a couple. The difference here is that now the child is (apparently) gay while the homophobic gay couple, suddenly left to raise him, is trying to come to terms.

I expected better. At times the film felt contrived and was predictable. A lot of fuss was made over the endorsement by the canadian hockey league.

Worth a look and something slightly different but not a need to own, (which I do, bought it first). Enjoy

A real feel good film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2016

Verified Purchase

This film was an impulse buy I’d seen it and thought why not, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The film centers on a gay couple one of has trouble accepting that he’s gay to the outside world, they become careers of a young boy who is camper than Christmas. While the film has serious and touching moments there are plenty of laughs to balance things out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it

Breakfast with Scott

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2010

The final impression I got was that this movie had been edited so badly that critical connections were missing. For instance, the boyfriend, who was dead against Scott coming to live with him & his partner, seems to have done an about face and become Scott's surrogate father. Why and when did this happen?
Ultimately, quite enjoyable and quite amusing, but only worth getting if the price is right.
