Clichéd is the adjective: a clichéd film, a clichéd love song, a clichéd way of saying sorry. It means the thing is built from ideas or lines that have been used until they feel empty. Not only a phrase can be clichéd — a plot can be, a joke can be, even a way of thinking. It is a light complaint, the kind you meet in reviews and classrooms. Though actually, calling something clichéd is itself a little easy. Many lines became clichés because they were once true enough that people kept saying them. Careful writing keeps the French accent (clichéd); you will also see cliched.

老套的；陳腔濫調的。
