Chris Klein and Freddie Prinze Jr. will be with Jamie Lynn Sigler in the the comedy "New York City Serenade."
The writer-director is Frank Whaley who based the script on some part of his own life.
The movie takes place in Manhattan in the mid-1990s and revolves around two close friends who realize that sometimes to keep friend you have to grow up and grow apart. Freddie plays Owen, an aspiring filmmaker suffering in a job at the neighborhood photomat. The one good thing he has going in his life is his relationship with his fiancee, Lynn (Jamie Lynn Sigler). Owen's childhood friend Ray (Klein) is a drummer, ex-husband and father who plays the dive bar circuit, often for drunken crowds prone to violence.
The best friends' relationship is unexpectedly strained when Owen is accepted to a film festival, and the two meet actor Wallace Shawn -- who plays himself in the movie -- at the airport. Shawn invites the friends to join him at the Four Seasons, quite a step up from their reservations at the Motor Lodge, when Owen finds out that Ray has begun posing as Shawn's son. The two get into a fight and part ways indefinitely until an unexpected reunion 18 months later.
