Breakfast With Scot (2007) ft. Alonso Duralde

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH

A group of kids come running into an arena, excited because they’ve won a contest to meet the Toronto Maple Leafs. We meet star player Eric McNally, who’s kind of a jerk. While he’s out practicing, he takes a bad hit and collapses on the ice.

Fast forward five years—Eric is now a sports anchor. We’re introduced to his partner, Sam, who brings surprising news: he’s become the legal guardian of his brother’s stepson, Scot. Scot’s mother has died, and Sam’s brother is missing. Eric is strongly against taking Scot in, but Sam insists it’s the right thing to do.

Scot arrives, and Eric is baffled by him. Scot doesn’t like hockey, only musicals. He sings Christmas songs in October. He’s… different.

At his new school, Scot struggles to adjust. The kids make fun of him for crying during a sad book, and at one point, he throws himself into a pile of leaves—until Eric comes to literally pick him up.

Meanwhile, Eric is hiding the fact that he’s gay from his colleagues and is worried that Scot, who tends to overshare, will out him.

Concerned that Scot is going to be bullied, Eric tries to help him fit in—starting, of course, by signing him up for hockey. Scot starts hanging out with a neighborhood kid who’s pretty mean, and in an effort to fit in, things go sideways. During the first game, Scot attacks his own goalie for tattling on his friend for stealing skates. Eric pulls him from the game, and Scot finally tells him he never wanted to play hockey in the first place.

Then, Scot’s dad, Billy, suddenly shows up from Brazil, wanting to take Scot back with him. Eric and Sam decide to throw Scot a Christmas-themed going-away party, and Eric lets Scot wear whatever he wants. But they’re furious when Billy shows up with a fiancée they didn’t know existed.

During the party, tensions rise, and they get into a big fight. When Scot sees that Billy brought a woman, he’s confused—and hurt. He’s upset that Billy didn’t even notice how much he’s grown. Eric steps in, delivering a heartfelt speech about how he would have noticed. He shows just how much he truly cares for Scot.

Scot tells Billy he wants to stay. At first, Billy refuses—but eventually, he agrees.

Cut to: Scot, Eric, and Sam enjoying a joyful, heartfelt Christmas together.
