As part of the survey where they rated characters, users were also asked the question "How do you rate The Boondock Saints?". The distribution of their responses are below.

# Response Count

5 It's my favorite 354

This gives it an average score of 3.92 / 5. Making it 176th out of the 369 universes in the dataset ordered by rating.

The average rating may be hard to generalize, though; the users of one online personality quiz could not be representative of the population in important ways. And there are some very obvious things you can point to: users of this quiz are more likely to be young and more likely to be women.

There are several different ways that average ratings can be broken down. Here are average scores by gender:

Gender Average rating
Male 3.92
Female 3.92
