Does this sound interesting/openable or too similar to a Christmas carol?

On the eve of her son’s wedding, a bitter, regretful taxi driver must visit her past, present and future to prevent her son from making the same mistakes she did.

      I see no problem with being like Dickens (would that I could be!), but I would modify the phrasing:

      On the eve of her son’s wedding, a regretful, embittered taxi driver must visit her own past, present and future to help?him avoid repeating?her mistakes.

      I think you could even do: ?”A regretful, embittered taxi driver must imitate Scrooge and visit her own past, present and future on the eve of her son’s wedding to try to help him ?avoid repeating?her mistakes”

      The only problem I see is the connection between her mistakes and her sons marriage.

      In Dickens there was a sense of urgency in that he had to change his ways before it was too late.

      If she learns the errors of her ways. How does that impact on her sons marriage. May be a bit much to ask of a logline. I can see the style of movie, but not the story. Can you tie them together more? Why is what’s happening in his marriage something she can fix?

      Can we use that to set up a goal,

      Son calls off the wedding the night before he’s going to get Married…

      When her son calls off his wedding at the last minute, a regretful, embittered taxi driver must visit her own past, present and future to help him avoid repeating her mistakes.

      I love films like this. And I think that the link to a Christmas Carol is a fun one.

      It does seem a bit similar to a Christmas Carol, but having a unique twist on a familiar concept is usually the Goldilocks zone of getting picked up by a producer.
