Maudlin

adj: overly sentimental

The mother's death should have been a touching scene, but the move's treatment of it was so maudlin that, instead of making the audience cry, it made them cringe.

When Georgy Clooney cried over Alfred in batman is was very mauldin, if not chessy.

Synonyms:bathetic, mawkish, saccharine, weepy
