I dont understand the title relation to the movie and its content. can someone explain it to me?

jamon means ham. Cold meat is very popular in spain, being the salty and gorgeous "jamon iberico" the king of them and probably one of the most important trademarks of Spain. Therefore, the title "jamón, jamón" gives a strong spanish flavour to the movie.
but "jamones" may also reffer to the thighs of a woman and "jamona" may reffer to a sexy curvaceous woman.
i dont know if there was another intention with the title. thats all i can think of.

You watch a "crappy movie" "ages ago". You wasted 2 hours of your life.
YET you post on this message board. Curious.

People should only talk about or comment on films they like??? Curious also.

Never defend crap with 'It's just a movie'

From another poster:

What about the scene were José Luis (Jordi Mollá) sucks Silvia's (Penélope Cruz) breast and she asks "How come you like eating my tits?" José Luis says "I like the way they taste" Silvia asks "What do they taste like?" José Luis answer "I don't know. Nothing" Silvia asks "Is it that they taste like ham omelette?" and José Luis answer "That would be asking too much: one tasting like an omelette and the other like ham"
