Cheesy

Literally, something is cheesy when it has a great deal of cheese - a tasty, but fattening food - on top of it. Figuratively, something is cheesy when it has a great deal of emotional exploitation and little substance. Ex.: "Teen romance movies are so cheesy. The plot's thin and the acting's second rate. Why do people watch them?!" This is the polar opposite of meaty.
