But the film is not a manifesto of any sort, as it also shares the low points, the shortcomings of Poppa Neutrino's lifestyle - which ultimately make him much more of a rounded out character of course, and at the same time someone much more deserving to be admired than other "idols" of our time like computer entrepreneur Steve Jobs and the like. Sure, you may not agree with all Poppa Neutrino says (and frankly, I don't) and will probably not follow his example, but that's not to say the man doesn't deserve one's deepest respect - and that's what the film succeeds to convey amost playfully. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
