Has a sitcom format, but complex emotions and perceptions keep breaking through the surface in an engaging, thoughtful manner.
By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW
63
A crowd-pleasing comedy that makes up for its formulaic, sitcom-ready premise with likable performances and an inviting sense of humor.
By Rene Rodriguez FULL REVIEW
58
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.
By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW

Bland and timid.
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW
50
A feel-good tale with undeniably good intentions, this Canadian comedy-drama doesn't really manage to convince on any level.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

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.
By Stephen Holden FULL REVIEW
40
