Weakly sentimental (7)

I think it could be either:

mawkish

maudlin

'weakly sentimental' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maudlin that I've seen before include "Weepy (and intoxicated?)" , "Soppy, lachrymose" , "Self-pityingly" , "Foolishly tearful" , "Mawkish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
