I don't think dream houses are THAT complicated to build.
I think Oh What Fun was trying to be mostly a comedy, and the only parts that I thought were funny were the family across the street singing and Jason Schwartzman being a shutterbug. It works better as more of a drama, like a lesser Family Stone.
Oh. What. Fun.
Come for the presents. Stay for the baggage.
