Production
Reception
The movie is seen as a repeat of another of the producer's movies, with the same male lead role in fact. It is Opined by Pulse movie Review that Brother's keeper and Being Mrs. Elliot have too much in common and is regarded as a counterproductive move.[4]
Release
The film was screened at the Nigerian Presidential Complex with many dignitaries in attendance including president Goodluck Jonathan and vice-president Namadi Sambo.[5][6] It had its world premiere on 30 August 2014 at Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island, Lagos and was released theatrically across Nigeria on 5 September.[7][8]
