Despite this negative opinion, I must still advise anyone with an interest in Donald Sutherland, Suzanne Somers, or bad movies, that one should watch this all the way through, despite the tedium, to appreciate the bizarre and remarkable ending. Even though I could not describe what it is, it is to be seen to be believed. That someone, or some people, at the end of several months work watched this last scene and thought "Yeah, that makes a good ending" defies belief. Watch it for the ending!
Roger (Sutherland) is a professor who used to be a sort of 60s radical. However, he's become much more establishment and 'normal'. But his complacency is interrupted when he learns that an evil corporation is bashing in the skulls of endangered seals. This sends him on a rampage...and soon he's out looking to stop them. However, finding a lawyer to take the case is tough because the corporation is so big and politically tied. But he eventually settles on a hot-shot female attorney (Suzanne Somers) and soon, not suprisingly, sparks fly.
One problem with this film that likely made it hard for fans was casting Somers as the brilliant but underrated attorney. Now I am NOT saying she was bad, but she was stereotyped as a stupid blonde due to her famous role on the TV show "Three's Company". The lawyer role just seemed too big a departure for the actress, though I am sure in real life she was bright and capable.
The other problem is that the film itself is poorly written. For a rom-com, it's amazingly unfunny and unromantic. Plus seal-clubbing isn't exactly something you'd expect in comedy nor romance! It's a shame, as a lot of good actors are in the movie and it should have been better.
By the way, this movie was a Canadian production, so the presence of so many "SCTV" cast members isn't all that surprising and it is nice seeing young Catherine O'Hara, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy and the ill-fated Tony Rosato in various small supporting roles.

- CuriosidadesStar Suzanne Somers writes in her autobiography that Donald Sutherland pretty much assumed direction of the actors once it became apparent that filmmaker George Bloomfield was in over his head.
- Citas
Dickerson: [indicating a large photograph] So this is Dawson Bay as it would appear today. As you can see - blue skies, mountains, green hills, a river, beach. Nice but a little ho-hum.
Dickerson: [indicating a 3D table model] Now out of that wilderness, is Dunbar's projected community of the future, which I think is very exciting. We have homes here now, running from 49,999 to 79,999 depending upon the location, the view, the extras, the cul-de sacs. The sewers are part of the package.
Dickerson: Er, well, let me go straight to my favourite part, on the north-east edge of the town, here. You see, that will be the largest shopping centre in the State. I think that's pretty exciting don't you? We, erm, what did you say your business was?
Roger Keller: I'm a teacher.
Dickerson: A teacher - here are the elementary schools. And as you can see, they're only a half a mile apart. And we planned that intentionally to avoid and kind of future busing problems. Not that we, you know, anticipate any with the price of the homes. You know what I mean.
Abigail Adams: [disingenuously] Isn't that wonderful, Honey?
Dickerson: Here is the high school.
[pressing a button]
Dickerson: That should illuminate. There it is anyway. That's been approved by the Board of Education. Ah, Little Lady, how about you? Are you a housewife
[correcting himself]
Dickerson: a homemaker - I hate that word "housewife"?
Abigail Adams: [she simpers] I'm a lawyer.
Dickerson: A lawyer! Oh, my gosh, that must be very interesting work.
Abigail Adams: Well, it's just something to keep me busy till I have some kids.
Dickerson: As God intended.
Abigail Adams: Yes
[chuckling falsely]
Dickerson: Ya, here's the professional building. Now we have sixteen offices still available in this building...
Roger Keller: You must stop killing the Chuala Seals in Dawson Bay!
Dickerson: Excuse me?
Abigail Adams: He said, "you must stop killing Chuala Seals in Dawson Bay".
Dickerson: This Dawson Bay?
Dickerson: [later in a bar] I mean, to tell you the truth, I didn't know any animals were being killed.
Roger Keller: Five nights a week for the past two weeks. In another ten hours, they'll be at it again up there.
Dickerson: No. No, they won't. And I can promise you that. They'll be no more seals getting their heads bashed in at Dawson.
Roger Keller: Are you serious?
Dickerson: Oh, yeah.
Roger Keller: Thank you. Thank you.
Dickerson: That's inhuman. Baseball bats? To me, that's, that's cruel. I think what they're gonna have to do is come up with a more humane way of disposing of them. Here, let me get you another drink!
