sentimental (in an excessive or contrived way) adj.: bathetic
Right now, aside from bathetic song tributes and the mastications of the self-loathing news media, no one knows hat to do about Diana’s death; the public, for its part, is mesmerized by its operatic grief. (Bruce Handy, “After Princess Diana: I Can’t Laugh without You: With Comedy and Mourning, Timing Is Everything, Time, 9/22/1997, p. 34.)
