Tiger Cruise (August 6, 2004)

Cmdr. Gary Dolan (Bill Pullman) is in charge of a naval carrier that is on a “tiger cruise,” which involves family members joining their seafaring relatives out on the ocean. Dolan’s precocious young daughter, Maddie (Hayden Panettiere), is along on the cruise, partially to convince her father to take a position that involves less travel. However, family dynamics suddenly take a backseat when word reaches the ship that the September 11 attacks have occurred.

EMORIONAL! I don’t know about you, but Tiger Cruise is such an emotional movie. It supposed to be a happy day on sea when things take a massive turn. This brought up some emotions and memories from when 9/11 happened. I remember clearly being in school and watching it all on the TV. We couldn’t go home, but sit in our desks and watch everything. I would go into this movie with a lot of caution.
