Ridemaster Horse Riding Simulator

You can find me any day of the week pretending to be in a hot rock and roll band with my geeky friends, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

But what you see is what you get when it comes to Sacha Baron Cohen, and after movies like Bruno and Borat, you already know whether you'll be able to find humor in film about a horrifyingly ignorant world leader who's as naive, racist, and prejudiced as they come.
