Two and one-half stars. Rated PG-13. 97 minutes. The opening of “Brigsby Bear” has the disorienting feel of an alternate reality: Twenty-something James (“Saturday Night Live” cast member Kyle Mooney) lives in a bunker with his parents (Mark Hamill and Jane Adams), where his favorite activity is watching VHS tapes of a public access-caliber kids TV show called “Brigsby Bear Adventures.” Here we have a grown man, with a Brigsby Bear bedspread and dressed in a Brigsby Bear T-shirt, obsessing over the convoluted plot surrounding what amounts to a Barney knockoff.
