BLLingg I'm an Army Brat. A 55 year old Army Brat. (Once a Brat, always a Brat.) Dad had two tours in Korea during my childhood. We lived in Germany for 3 years. Apart from that, we moved every year. I attended 6 different Grade Schools before Dad retired. In my eyes, Army Rules. BUT. I had never realized that Navy Brats whose parents serve on a ship pay a greater sacrifice than did I. My father was away for extended periods occasionally and for brief periods often. But for Navy Brats, according to this movie, extended separations are a way of life. I have a much greater respect for Navy Brats now. For me, growing up as a Brat and even now, long after Dad retired, identifying myself as a Brat, hearing her last words, finally accepting and acknowledging that she really was a Brat was a more emotional moment for me than the 9-1-1 aspect. Freedom ISN'T free. And Military Families pay a cost too. But we were paying it long before 9-1-1 ever happened.

James Shaw (Simba7) 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

hogwarts814 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!

BreezyBlue88 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.
