Breakfast with Scot isn't much on originality, but it is sweet enough to overcome the most cynical skeptic.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten

It lacks the psychological realism of certain decent dramas and is too reliant on cheap pratfalls and Cavanagh's pinched approach to comedy.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

What elevates way above the merely adequate script by Sean Reycraft based on the novel by Michael Downing and Lynd's competent direction is young Noah Bernett as Scot. This kid is so great, he could give kid actors a good name again.

David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

Anyone who's ever seen an After School Special knows where the family-friendly Breakfast With Scot is headed, no matter how well intentioned.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

It's refreshingly snarky and quick.
