Disney alert: New TV movie uses 9/11 for faux patriotism

[Newsjock]

I guess "America's Heart and Soul" didn't get enough buzz for them, huh. So they try again.

Disney's Tiger Cruise hails military families

By Hal Boedeker

For a family film, Tiger Cruise travels in unusually deep waters. It celebrates patriotism in stirring style. It gives a timely salute to military families. It earns tears honorably.

The Disney Channel movie, which premieres Friday, also pulls off an especially tricky assignment. It depicts the public's reaction to the terrorist attacks with sensitivity and power.

Director Duwayne Dunham and his colleagues work with admirable grace. They have crafted a lovely, thoughtful drama that shames many films that are supposedly more mature.

The movie's title refers to a weeklong cruise that acquaints sailors' relatives with ship life. Such a trip was under way, from Honolulu to San Diego, on the USS Constellation in September 2001. Even with hundreds of civilian passengers, the aircraft carrier went into full combat alert.
