If you have never seen a creative dog grooming competition, take everything you think you know about dog shows and turn it on its head. Picture dog fur dyed with every color under the sun and then transformed into mermaids, dinosaurs, Disney characters, and Johnny Depp’s face. It’s really something you have to see to believe. To creative groomers, dogs are not just companions, but works of art… expensive and all-consuming works of art. The time and money spent on these projects make creative grooming not just a hobby, but a lifestyle. WELL GROOMED is a documentary that follows four creative groomers through their triumphs and challenges on their journeys to the world’s largest grooming competition in Hershey, Pennsylvania. While at first you might be drawn to this movie out of sheer curiosity, by the end you will find yourself emotionally invested and rooting for your favorite underdog (no pun intended) to win first place. —G.S.
