“Mean Moms” follows a happily married mother of two who moves from small-town America to the high–class suburbs and must suddenly confront the cutthroat world of competitive parenting.
Aniston’s name has been link to the project for a while. She worked with Anders on 2014’s “Horrible Bosses 2”.
Jill Messick, Jennifer Gibgot and Adam Shankman are producing “Mean Moms”. Anders penned the most recent draft of the script with John Morris.
