Welcome to ANOTHER NICE MESS. This website aims to cover review of films made by the Hal Roach Studios between 1914-1948; as well as the individual films featuring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Charley Chase and the post-Roach Our Gang short films. This is not a fan-made, kiss-ass website. I am NOT a "Laurel & Hardy fan" and my reviews are unbiased. Reviews and opinions herein are my own and occasionally contain very negative remarks which some people may find offensive. If you would like to make a small contribution to the site, this will be acknowledged with a personal reply* and a credit on the site. (*if I have your contact details). A complete list of monthly updates made on this website will be made available exclusively to anybody who supports the site with a minimum £5 donation for this month. All donations will receive a personal reply and my gratitude.
