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

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.

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.

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