Jaime Pressly Joins Indie Feature ‘The Re-Education Of Molly Singer’

EXCLUSIVE: We told you earlier about the cast for the Andy Palmer-directed indie feature The Re-Education of Molly Singer, and we just learned that Mom actress Jaime Pressly is joining Britt Robertson, Ty Simpkin, Nico Santos, Holland Roden and Wendie Malick in the film which is currently in production.

Robertson plays a former college party girl by the name of Molly Singer who in her latter professional career as an attorney has just botched her biggest case due to her inability to let go of her hard partying lifestyle. Rather than firing her, Molly is tasked by her overbearing and controlling boss Brenda –who Pressly will play– to re-enroll at her old alma mater, to befriend her socially awkward son, Elliot (Simpkins), and guide him through an already tumultuous freshman year. Equipped with her quick wit, years of experience and her best friend Paulie, Molly discovers that college has certainly changed since her glory days, and maybe it really is time to move on from the best four years of her life to a new journey. Santos will play Ollie, Roden is Trina and Malick will play Mrs. Zimmerman.
