Best Answer

Melodrama is a form of dramatic rendition that grossly exaggerates the characters and events within the play or movie. It lost its appeal, it seems, with the advent of television and the increase in nightly news, commentary on world events, and other such shows. However, people do still enjoy a bit of melodrama every now and then; Sweeny Todd, for example, is a melodrama that did pretty well in the box office.
