Movie Haiku:BJ#1 was basically a PRIDE & PREJUDICE redux, but BJ#2 takes off in new directions culminating in a prison sequence with just the right mix of ditzy/daffy & politically astute. Jan was thoroughly charmed by Zellweger & happy to go along. Rich, however, had less patience for the peripatetic plot.
