Friday is a classic. Everybody loves that movie. Everybody has a favorite line or scene or character. That's why the mostly panned sequels, Next Friday (2000) and Friday After Next (2002), were still met with decent box office numbers. But another round of Friday more than a decade later?

"You know, it's so funny, I was watching Friday last night," Tucker toldGlobal Grind's BlogXilla Monday. "I was flipping through the television and I was watching it. It was, you know, a moment in time. I was a young kid. I was laughing through the whole thing too. And I was proud of that, making myself laugh. [But] I don't know if we could do another one. I don't know if I could do another one because I was so young and it was a moment in time, but we'll see."

Tucker will next be seen alongside Kristen Stewart and Steve Martin in Ang Lee's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Nov. 11:
