Island REPORTER : ^ NOVEMBER 18,1994 VOLUME 23 NUMBER 46 island 3 SECTIONS, 44 PAGES REPORTER Tropical Storm Gordon spares Sanibel Storm stirs more conversation than wind or seas By Mark S.

Amano le loro mogli, ma come molti altri uomini, non riescono a evitare di esaminare attentamente tutte le donne che incontrano. Stanche di questo atteggiamento, le loro mogli (Jenna Fischer e Christina Applegate) scelgono una soluzione estrema per cercare di rivitalizzare il loro matrimonio, garantendo ai mariti una settimana di libertà per fare tutto quello che vogliono, niente domande. Sette giorni per vedere esattamente cosa pensano di avere perduto… o smetterla una volta per tutte di guardare le altre donne. All’inizio Rick e Fred pensano che sia stia avverando un sogno, ma presto scoprono che le loro aspettative di una vita da single sono comicamente fuori dalla realtà.
