No Bed Of Roses, No Pleasure Cruise: 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Let's talk about the teeth.

They're impossible to ignore, that prosthetic ring of upper chompers worn by Rami Malek in the listless musical biopic Bohemian Rhapsody as he — and the film itself -- lurches through all the now familiar, VH1 Behind The Music stations of the rock-music cross: discovery, meteoric rise, betrayal, precipitous fall, contrition, redemption.

They're ... something, those teeth. They distend Malek's upper lip, just as the real ones did Freddie Mercury's — more, actually; it's not so much an overbite as an überbite. They're so hilariously extreme, in fact, that they make Steve Carell's Foxcatcher nose look like Ralph Fiennes' Harry Potter one.
