Source I read the Eragon back in high school, back around the time when the movie was coming out. I loved the book and I remember the excitement I felt about watching the movie.

YouTube Movie Review: A Good Woman (2004)
Source I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It has a solid cast who give great performances, and the writing is excellent.
