People think they've figured out the 'hidden meaning' of the title of Jennifer Lawrence's new movie.

The upcoming R-rated comedy, No Hard Feelings, sees J-Law play Maddie, who discovers a bizarrely well paid job listing.

Take a look at the trailer below:

On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie applies for a unique job listed by wealthy helicopter parents, who are looking for someone to 'date' with their 'un-f**kable' 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), before he leaves for college.

And if the trailer is anything to go by, we're expecting a madness of a film.

The solid cast also includes the likes of Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti, who play Percy's parents, along with Natalie Morales (Dead To Me), Hasan Minhaj, Kyle Mooney (Saturday Night Live), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) and Scott MacArthur.

And while it seems that viewers have been enjoying the trailer so far, some are now noticing a supposed 'hidden meaning' behind the title.

It all started when a confused on-looker asked Twitter: "This genuinely looks funny, great trailer - but why did they settle on this title? Perplexing choice."

"Really? You need that explained to you?" one person asked, while another revealed the brilliant innuendo: "Because no matter what she does, he has no ‘hard’ feelings for her. Seems to be a play on words. He’s not feeling it…"

Still not got it?

In case it hasn't clicked yet, this user decided it to make it crystal clear for us: "I thought the title was obvious. It's referring to the male erection."

Kind of makes sense now right?

And playing the role as the 'unf**kable' teen is Andrew Barth Feldman, who is delighted - so far - with the response of the teaser.

Taking to social media, he tweeted: "So yeah so. Yeah again it's really really hard to know what to say in these moments this is all just really wild and wonderful ok."

Co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach also told Awards Radar that we can expect to see a new 'goofy' side to Lawrence.

"I think Jennifer Lawrence is really goofy in this movie, in a way that she hasn’t been in the past," he said.

"The movie reminds me of some ‘90s comedies I really used to like. I don’t want to misrepresent the movie, but there were elements which reminded me of the Farrelly brothers, or Something About Mary.

"There’s a decent amount of physical comedy, and Jennifer Lawrence is very committed to it. It was a very funny set."

No Hard Feelings will hit theatres on 23 June.
