Causing, or likely to cause, an uproar.
“Oh! there's no fear of him,” said Burgess, cheerily; “if he grows uproarious, we'll soon give him a touch of the cat.”
Characterized by uproar, that is, loud, confused noise, or by noisy and uncontrollable laughter.
The noise in this room was perfectly tumultuous, […] every child was conducting itself like forty. The consequences were uproarious beyond belief; but no one seemed to care; on the contrary, the mother and daughter laughed heartily, and enjoyed it very much; and the latter, soon beginning to mingle in the sports, got pillaged by the young brigands most ruthlessly.

Extremely funny; hilarious.
Yet as with Booksmart, the summer's earlier riff on that Apatovian classic, there are times when Good Boys feels a little too nice to actually be uproarious. In more ways than one, it's the training wheels for a better comedy—a slightly edgier and funnier one.
In a mess; dishevelled, untidy.
