Twitter fans credited the sequel for staying true to the original rom-com while giving it a modern twist.
However, fans of the late Alan Rickman were sad that the prestigious actor is no longer here to see the sequel, and poignantly reflected on his work and memory.
The only thing that makes me sad is that Alan Rickman didn't get to witness this or be a part of this #LoveActually #RedNoseDay
