*minor spoilers.. kind of*
It's an interesting issue and one that I was thinking of myself while I watched the film. First of all, the film itself is quite well done, though a bit on the long side. The best part of it is the acting, diCaprio is particularly good as Belfort, and Jonah Hill puts in a good performance as well. As I said though, I felt it all dragged on a bit.
As for the content, it most definitely does glorify the money, excess and misogyny that was so blatant in the corporate world at that point. However, that's what films do, so I think its best to try and read between the lines. It didn't give much thought for the victims of Stratton Oakmont's shady business practices and, without wishing to spoil the ending, I got the message that Belfort ultimately didn't pay a whole lot for his crimes and got off fairly comfortably. It felt like the film was saying Belfort royally fu**ed up but he still didn't really get punished. I don't know if this was intentional, or whether anyone else felt the same watching the end, but I certainly felt that the message was people can still get away with this stuff, and if they don't, it's not like they face a long jail sentence or anything.
