Seth Rogen was certainly not disappointed by Sacha Baron Cohen’s anticipated Borat sequel.

The Superbad star shared his glowing review of the forthcoming movie in a Twitter post, which has since been liked by over 40,000 fans.

“I’ve seen #Borat2 around six times over the last few months, and I can’t wait to watch it a seventh,” the actor wrote.

Rogen continued: “It’s crazy and wonderful and couldn’t be more timely. It also has a few of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. I’m excited for you to see it.”

While the comedian did not specify which scenes he was referring to, there are a host of hilarious set-ups included in the film’s trailer, including a snippet that shows Baron Cohen interrupting a Mike Pence speech dressed as Donald Trump.

In response to a comment on his post, Rogen also praised the actor who portrays Borat’s daughter in the forthcoming movie. He called her “f***ing unbelievable”. 

The New York Times have stated that the actor in question is Irina Nowak, however, other reports identify her as Maria Bakalova.

Baron Cohen is known for keeping the details of his movies – including the names of other actors involved – under wraps.
