Effusively or insincerely emotional (7)

I believe the answer is:

maudlin

'effusively or insincerely emotional' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maudlin that I've seen before include "Mushy and emotional" , "Over-emotional" , "Sentimentally tearful" , "Weakly sentimental" , "Schmaltzy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
