"Breakfast with Scot" is a Canadian comedy film, released in Canada in November 2007.

Adapted from the novel by Tufts University professor Michael Downing, the film stars Tom Cavanagh as Eric McNally, a gay retired hockey player turned television sportscaster who lives with his partner Sam (Ben Shenkman), a sports lawyer. When Sam unexpectedly becomes the legal guardian of his brother's stepson Scot (Noah Bernett), their lives are turned upside down. Eric's unwillingness to become a parent eventually fades as Scot teaches Eric about accepting and loving your true self.

The screenplay was adapted by Sean Reycraft from the book by Michael Downing, and the film is being directed by Laurie Lynd. The film attracted significant press attention in 2006, when the National Hockey League and the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that they had approved the use of the team's logo and name in the film, making it the first gay-themed film ever to receive this type of endorsement from a major league sports franchise.

"Breakfast With Scot" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2007. The film was released on DVD in Canada by Mongrel Media in March 2008.

"Breakfast With Scot" was the closing night film at Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, on June 29, 2008.

"Breakfast With Scot" to be released in the U.S. by Regent Releasing in select cities from October 2008.
