Fox News
"American Pie" star Jason Biggs discusses the movie's enduring appeal through friendship themes and teenage relationships while acknowledging modern comedy limitations.
"Comedy is changing. What you can sort of get away with. I mean, we certainly couldn't do a lot of those things now, you, know, and we shouldn't, but we did, and it was a reflection of the time."

Biggs told Fox News Digital that there are several reasons why the movie has turned into a cult-classic, including the strong bond between four high school buddies and their friendship that "transcends time."
"Then also the girls, you know, and their relationships with the girls. How the girls have the power. I think that's very relatable. It has like this beating heart beneath the sort of the big set pieces beneath the comedy, or maybe even above the comedy," Biggs said.
