oil filter question

all i need to know is, if i take off the oil filter with full oil, is it going to make a huge mess? a friend of mine told me that all my oil would pour everywhere but my other friend's dad is a mechanic and told me that only the small amount of oil in the actual filter is what will pour out (not a big mess).

i need to know what's going to happen.

Well when I pull off mine the oil filter is pretty full, and a good amount pours out but not a whole lot.

It'll happen no matter what, just make sure your face isnt in the way, and just get a rag and wipe down afterwards to keep it clean.
