If you've missed Chained for Life, you haven't missed much. Based loosely (very loosely) on Siamese twins Daisy and Violent Hilton's lives, Chained For Life is low melodrama at its lamest.
The starring ladies did, however, sing very sweetly, and their musical performances are worth sitting through the rest of the movie.
