Anyhow or however?

We were late, ___ the film wasn't very good.

The suggested answer is anyhow. What's the meaning and usage of anyhow? Can you give more examples used in the same way? Thanks.

Anyhow here is an adverb meaning in any case. It could almost be regarded as a filler word here.

The suggested answer is wrong: the sentence is incorrectly punctuated.

Can we punctuate the sentence this way:

We were late; anyway, the film wasn't good.

Or change the sentence into:

We were late, and anyway the film wasn't good.

Which is better?

As a foreigner, I am not sure about such filler words. Can you say more about such words?

Both these look OK to me.
