What's *Christian Slater vehicle*?

Here's an excerpt-

With the possible exception of *Christian Slater vehile,* few words chill the heart of a movi critic faster than coming-of-age story.

Hi there,

film reviews do often use slightly strange language......

Here

[obelix]

It is a gratuitous insult to Christian Slater, whom the reviewer considers to be either a poor actor, or one unfortunate enough to have been in poor films.

This reviewer is saying, in an oblique way, that movie critics hate "coming of age" movies almost as much as they hate any movie with Christain Slater in it.

Fantastic, thanks Obelix

That's exactly what I was trying to say - but as usualy I went about it in a very complicated way!!!
