New York City Serenade is a 2007 comedy-drama film written and directed by Frank Whaley and starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Chris Klein and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Owen is an aspiring filmmaker who has been nominated for an award for one of his short films in which his friend Ray appears.
Ray has an office job (this week) but still plays drums in a rock band, and he has a young daughter, Francie, as well as a drinking problem.
When they arrive, their driver Les is supposed to take them to the airport motel, but Ray saw Wallace Shawn and found out he was staying at the Four Seasons.
Nathan Lee of The New York Times called the film "transparently banal".
