More Details About Screening of Breakfast with Scot
More Information
Eric, played by Tom Cavanagh (“Ed”), lives for all things hockey. Now he’s managed to turn his stint as a Toronto Maple Leaf into a full-time gig as a TV sports commentator. His boyfriend Sam, played by Ben Shenkman (ANGELS IN AMERICA) is a corporate lawyer. They live a fairly closeted life on a tree-lined street in Toronto. When Sam announces that they’re to become temporary guardians of a recently orphaned, 11-year-old boy named Scot, their comfortable world falls through the ice. Scot is everything that Eric and Sam are not - he has a penchant for feather boas, rose hand cream, Christmas carols and all that glitters. In an effort to toughen him up, Eric enrolls Scot in Pee Wee Hockey - and gets roped into being assistant coach - a job that is more than he bargained for.
Expertly directed by Laurie Lynd, based on the award-winning book by Michael Downing, this poignant film wraps tough issues of parenthood, relationships and masculinity in a blanket of comedy that will make you laugh, cry and laugh some more.
