I wouldn't call it a soppy film myself. I consider films that have Hugh Grant etc to be soppy. Its not that I ain't got a sentimental side that having a lack of means that I can't appreciate A romance film. But they are so unrealistic that they are mostly unbearable :)

The last film I was berated for by a friend for watching for being 'soppy ' was 8 pounds with Will Smith. Which I will admit is one that pulls the strings. :D
