Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first official series title was "Hal Roach's Rascals." But the series also came to be known as "The Our Gang Comedies" simply because the name of this film caught on so well with the trade press and exhibitors who saw the preview. (Of course, the best-known title, "The Little Rascals," came decades later when the series was shown on television. And by sheerest coincidence, Century Comedies released a film the same year "Our Gang" was launched called The Little Rascal (1922).)

Featured review
It's impossible to really rate this one, as it's only a fragment.
This is the very first Our Gang comedy...and it's appropriately entitled "Our Gang". However, only a portion of the original film exists today and Turner Classic Movies showed this four and a half minute segment from a short that was probably originally 20 minutes more or less. Because of this, you cannot give the film a numerical score.
What you have are a variety of story elements but where they go and what it's all about, I have no idea. But it is anyone's guess where it all goes--there's the rich prissy kid who takes the girl, there are the ragamuffin gang members and some plot involving working at Mary Jane's mother's store. I did love the way the kids arranged the package delivery--using their mule. You just have to see it to believe it. Additionally, it was nice to see 'Sunshine Sammy' Morrison (Ernest Morrison) playing an important part of the film--as the Our Gang comedies were incredibly progressive for their time by having black and white kids playing together as equals.
