When I am talking with my close friend, can I say as follows?
(My family members liked it. It is not concerned with my friends.)
1. My family liked it.
2. Our family liked it.
3. Our families liked it.
[#1 seems to be right. What about #2? Is #2 grammatically correct? How about #3? Is #2 used sometimes?]

All are okay. When you use "my", you are speaking only for yourself. "Our" speaks for more than one, as in parents speaking of their children - "Our children liked it" - or siblings speaking about the rest of their family, etc. "Our families..." might be said by a married couple about their respective birth families, etc.
