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.

-
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.
