Another bad-boy poseur, Tony Kaye of "American History X" fame, returns to theaters with the histrionic and ham-handed "Detachment," starring Adrien Brody as substitute teacher Henry Barthes (pronounced "Barth"; to show how disconnected this movie is from reality, not once does a kid call him Mr. Barf). Marcia Gay Harden plays the principal who hires Henry, saying... he "comes highly recommended as the best sub on the call list" - which he drolly deflects as a dubious compliment.
