Mawkish is putting it mildly
Reaching back to 1970s TV: In the pilot episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant (Ed Asner) says to Mary Richards (Moore): "You know what you've got, Mary? You've got spunk. I hate spunk!" This film is a great example of the reasons to hate TV spunk. Someone should drill a hole in this movie and let the sap run out.
