Nothing Personal (1980 film)

Nothing Personal is a 1980 Canadian-American romantic comedy film starring Suzanne Somers and Donald Sutherland. Sutherland plays a professor who objects to the killing of baby seals. Somers, a Harvard-educated attorney, tries to aid him.

The film has been extremely poorly reviewed. Cinema Canada criticized the film's "coarse, obvious humour", "unfunny and unexciting" car chases, and claimed that the film's principal concern was "speed, not coherence".[1] Leonard Maltin described Nothing Personal as an "inane romantic comedy", while TV Guide described the film as "tedious, witless, and implausible, with nonexistent direction and scythe-wielded editing."[2]

As had happened with director George Bloomfield's previous film Double Negative, numerous cast members of the Canadian comedy series SCTV turn up in bit parts in this film: Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Tony Rosato. Bloomfield had directed SCTV from 1977 to 1979.
