Movie Haiku:Sequel to 1998 Indie hit HAPPINESS. Despite a huge ensemble (cast completely anew), the most compelling character is still "Bill" (once Dylan Baker now Hinds) a pedophile who hid his compulsion for years beneath a seemingly perfect family life. Alas, this time Bill''''''''s wife "Trish" (Janney) is made specifically Jewish & ugly sterotypes abound.
