Based loosely from the TV series of the same name, the film tells about a group of teenagers and their miseries in life and how they cope with the dramatic experiences they are facing as they undergo their everyday life.
According to Lee Mee Fung, the Executive Director of Red Films Sdn Bhd, the film which is targeted at teenagers is about "a commercial film which revolves around teenagers' conflicts and their reactions in determining their future."
The catch phrase of this film is "Hidup ini memang palat, tapi esok masih ada." The word "palat" has been featured in the promotion materials that are included in KAMI: Vol II soundtrack, as well as in the official website. However, the word has been eliminated from the further promotion materials as well as from the dialogues in the film since it was considered as a vulgar word.
This film marks the first attempt of Effendee Mazlan as the director of a commercial film, as well as Fariza Azlina Isahak, whom has written the script for the first time. Among the companies that were involved in the making of this film was Hotlink and Monkey Bone Records.
KAMI was released to 43 cinemas across Malaysia on the first day of Hari Raya, and had a tight competition with Senario The Movie: Episode 1 which was released at the same day. Although it was predicted that it would not be able to compete with Senario The Movie[1], it went to raise RM1.4 million in the first two weeks of screening and it managed to avoid the possibility of massive loss.[2]
Initial critical reception to KAMI was generally positive reviews.
KAMI The Album Volume 2 is a soundtrack for the KAMI The Movie. Contains 15 songs and this album is very satisfying.
