weepfest

Prolonged group crying

A weepfest is an occasion of prolonged or collective crying—a movie that leaves the audience in tears, a funeral where grief flows freely, or a conversation where everyone ends up sobbing: The ending was such a weepfest.

The term is informal and often slightly dismissive, suggesting excessive or indulgent emotionality.
