The sex scenes are so bizarre as to be parodic and it all looks terribly ugly. But wonderful vignettes of rural life, and a terrific performance from Pablito the piglet. Ham indeed.

"Jamon Jamon" is not quite pop art, and it's not surprising or witty enough to work as satire. It's on a wavelength not easy to tune in.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Although possessing a biting wit and excellent sense of the offbeat, too much of Jamon, Jamon follows obvious paths.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Fresh
A movie that combines lurid melodrama with vast improbabilities, sexy soap opera with heartfelt romance, and cheerful satire with heedless raunch.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
A coarse muddle of melodrama, romance and cautionary tale, the film is chiefly a tribute to throbbing Latin manhood, as cretinous and sophomoric as it is pretentiously surreal.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
