Jason Biggs should count the lucky stars that his wife, Jenny Mollen, didn’t see “American Pie” until they tied the knot. Mollen revealed during an interview with the New York Post that she only saw the teen comedy after becoming Biggs’ wife in 2008.
But why has she not watched the teen comedy since? She avoided the film because she thought it wasn’t quite her style. Talking about her experience, she admitted that she found the movie shocking and funny.
She described herself as initially too “highbrow” to consider watching it. When she finally did, it was during their first year of marriage, sharing the moment with her husband. In hindsight, Mollen joked that it’s a good thing she delayed watching “American Pie,” hinting that her reaction might have been different had she seen it before marrying Biggs.
