Un père pas comme les autres

I want to give this film a ten, but since ten would mean perfect, my instincts would only let me go so far. I couldn't believe how much this movie changed my life...and my family's.

September 11th is one thing that I remember every single day. I've written so many poems and stories about that day, and yet I still wonder...why? This movie is far too hard to watch without tears spilling out of your eyes. My favorite Disney Channel movie, perhaps, of all-time, I was taken aback at Hayden Panettiere's touching role...And I love the way the story was laid out. Just as her father says that he will come home, she realizes how important his job is.

Tiger Cruise gets 9.9/10 for me!

What I found interesting about this movie was it was part of OUR WestPac '01 Deployment.

The USS Benfold (DDG-65) was part of the USS Constellation (CV-64) Battlegroup while I was still in the U.S. Navy. Most of the movie is true. We had "tigers" on-board our ship when the 9/11 attacks hit. The sailors, along with the "tigers", were both shocked. I, initially, thought it was a movie. I found out a few minutes later that it was definitely real.

I am glad that our Battlegroup was based on a rather good movie. I know some of the "tigers" on-board our ship wanted to help out when the towers were attacked.

A big thumps up and a Bravo Zulu for Disney.. and Thanks for your support.

Sincerely, SN Shaw, J., USS Benfold (DDG-65) - Apr98-Jan02

I've always like many Disney channel original movies, but I've got to admit, a lot of them have always been cheesy.

This movie was different. We got to see what it was like for a girl days before 9/11 and how she really needed her dad back home. It was extremely touching to see her helping little kids who were as scared as her.

Major acting chops for Hayden Panettiere! Excellent job and I see a future for her in the acting industry.

Even my brothers, who hate Disney Channel, enjoyed this movie. So did my dad! Disney needs to have more serious movies like this and maybe older kids will take them more seriously!

Where Disney movies have been cheesy in the past, Tiger Cruise is definitely an exception. It follows a Navy Brat's journey on a "Tiger Cruise" only days before 9/11.

I think this film really captures the emotion of a lot of people who were involved in this atrocity, and really helps people understand how hard people had to work to keep themselves calm.

It was a stunning performance by Hayden Panettiere who is a star in her own right, and her brothers acting was on par to hers. I would like this film to be shown on other Disney Channels, ie Disney Channel UK, as I reckon it would help people understand 9/11 a lot better. A brilliant, wonderful, and touching movie.

I have been looking forward to this movie for weeks. And after finally being able to watch it , I loved it. This movie teaches us not to think only about ourselves but the others around us. I think that a lot of kids should watch this movie. Its probably for kids 8 and up. Kids younger then 8 probably wont get the plot of the movie and all of the emotions. There are funny lines in the movie but it does have a serious point to it. We see how people react when they hear about the planes crashing into the World Trade Center , Pentagon, and the field in PA. This movie makes you be very thankful. Hayden did an awesome job of being silly, cranky, and responsible. Jansen (Hayden's little brother) will probably be in more movies and TV shows. The cast was really good and got the point along.
