After spending a year in a depression, Anderson impulsively asks a waitress named Katie (Isla Fisher of "Wedding Crashers") to marry him even though they have just met. When she surprisingly agrees, the two must deal with the reactions of their respective friends and families.

From learning each other’s names to getting to know one another, moving in together and meeting the parents, Anderson and Katie throw aside the conventional rules of courtship in their accelerated pursuit of love at first sight. But through all the mishaps and mayhems, love will find a way.

Jason Biggs talks about appearing in sequined panties and dressing up like cupid in wings in his zany new comedy together with Isla Fisher in "Wedding Daze."

How did appearing in red sequined panties and being covered in baby oil for the opening scene of "Wedding Daze" compare to some of your more risqué endeavours with the American Pie series?

A: [Laughs] You know, I gotta tell you it was probably physically more uncomfortable than any other scene because the sequined pants, or panties, or manties as I call them, were really, really uncomfortable. The sequins were kind of getting in there and there was some chaffing going on! It wasn’t fun. I was also wrestling around with [co-star, Michael] Weston on the ground - and he’s a grown man!

The other thing about that scene was that it was one of the coldest days in New York that year! It was literally freezing, freezing cold and I was topless and wet with lubricant and water. I think my nipple got frostbitten at one point. So between the chaffing in my groin and the frostbitten torso it was really, really bad news. But in terms of embarrassing moments, it was just another walk in the park for me [laughs].

Q: You don’t seem to mind yourself being put in those kinds of embarrassing predicaments...

A: There’s obviously some appeal in scenes like that for me - there’s something I respond to. I keep doing those films where I put myself out there like that. I guess I look for those kinds of moments and I pride myself on being an actor who will do just about anything for a laugh - so long as it’s within context of the scene in the movie and it’s not gratuitous. I have to feel it’ll make people laugh but when I see those kinds of outrageous moments it gets me more excited about the project truthfully.

Q: Writer-director Michael Ian Black had to wait to get you on "Wedding Daze." Is that flattering?

A: Yeah, I had scheduling conflicts. But we’d met about it and totally hit it off and it was obvious right away that we had very similar comedic sensibilities and it would be a wonderful collaboration. But it couldn’t happen at first. I think it was a full year later that we were actually able to revisit the idea and get it going.

Q: How did you enjoy having Isla Fisher as a romantic co-star?

A: That was great because the thing about her role is that if you don’t have an actress who’s willing to do anything for the joke and basically risk making a fool of herself, then the movie doesn’t work in my opinion. Isla is part of a rare breed - the actress who is funny, pretty, young, smart and yet willing to be outrageous and not worry about how she looks. They’re few and far between. On top of that we had amazing chemistry, which is also integral to the movie and whether or not it would work. She was a perfect bit of casting.

Q: Do you ever get sick of the association with the "American Pie"movies?

A: Truthfully, it doesn’t wear thin. At this point, I’m just used to it. But I’m so proud of those movies and they are so responsible for my success today. Frankly, they’re the reason I have a career. And furthermore, the pie scene in particular is one of those seminal, iconic, pop culture moments. That’s pretty cool to be associated with that.

Q: What appeals to you about the romantic-comedy genre in particular?

A: Of all the different kinds of things that I’ve done I guess there’s a reason why I keep coming back to this kind of role. It seems to be a natural fit for me. First of all, you need the comedy but the roles also require a vulnerability and a sort of likeability. I’ve always felt most comfortable in the hopeless romantic, underdog kind of roles who always gets the girl in the end. I don’t know what that says about me but for some reason it’s a natural fit.

"Wedding Daze" opens on Oct. 3 in Metro Manila theaters.
