“New in Town” is a romantic comedy that breezed through theaters with hurricane speed and now is about to disappear into movie limbo. However, it clings to life at the Harrisonburg 14, and still deserves a few words. I’ll admit that I chuckled all the way through this piece of fluff with a plot that…
