"Luke comes from money, but I have something no trust fund can’t buy: the edge," Ani says as a woman on the street stares longingly at her fiancé and she turns back as if to say, "He's mine."

The movie adaptation of "Luckiest Girl Alive" is written by Knoll and directed by Mike Barker, with Kunis also serving as producer.
