I believe the answer is:

schmaltz

(Other definitions for schmaltz that I've seen before include "Excessive sentimentality in art or music" , "Excessive sentimentality in music or film" , "mush" , "Extreme or excessive sentimentality" , "mawkishness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
