Spoilers ahead
Bruce Nolan, portrayed by Jim Carrey, is a TV news reporter stuck covering trivial fluff pieces in Buffalo, New York. The film kicks off with him in a bakery, his spidery hairnet awkwardly perched over his forehead, as he reports on the city’s largest cookie. However, his luck seems to dwindle as he faces frustrating traffic while racing back to the station. His day spirals downhill as he arrives late to a critical meeting, where co-workers, including his rival Evan Baxter, portrayed by Steve Carrell, mock his silly bakery coverage. With a penchant for dark humor, Bruce pleads with his boss, Jack Baylor, played by Philip Baker Hall, for a chance at the vacant anchor position.
