Sentimental movie (9)

I believe the answer is:

melodrama

(Other definitions for melodrama that I've seen before include "Histrionics - sensational play" , "sensational affair" , "Sensational theatre work" , "Play of extravagant action" , "Extravagantly styled play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
