Jennifer Lawrence has jokingly taken another pop at her sci-fi romance Passengers.

Last week, she explained how she agreed with criticism of the movie, which argued that it'd be better if it started with her character Aurora waking up.

And now, as part of a fundraising campaign for Omaze that will see one fan go wine tasting with her, Lawrence took part in a game that saw her try to work out if a certain phrase came from a wine review or a review of one of her movies.

One such comment was "doesn't hold up to sober scrutiny" and she answered Passengers, although it turned out to be American Hustle which she was nominated at the Oscars for.

Awkward.

Last week, Lawrence revealed that she saw where people were coming from with Passengers criticism, and was "disappointed in [herself] that [she] didn't spot it".

"I thought the script was beautiful – it was this tainted, complicated love story. It definitely wasn't a failure. I'm not embarrassed by it by any means. This was just stuff that I wished I'd looked into deeper before jumping on," she explained.

Passengers starred Lawrence and Chris Pratt as two travellers whose sleep pods open too early on a 120-year journey through space, dooming them to die before reaching their destination.

Only it was actually Pratt's Jim who wakes Lawrence's Aurora up, effectively 'killing' her. But despite getting a bit mad when she finds out, the two live happily ever after.
