sappiest
Overly sweet, emotionally
Sappiest is the superlative of sappy.
At its most literal, it describes wood or plants most full of sap.
More often it means the most cloyingly sentimental: That was the sappiest movie I've ever seen.
The connection runs through the idea of excessive sweetness—tree sap being sticky and sugary.
