I can do even better as I took pics lol. But here it is as a short summary:
Ember's parents run a shop in Element City which they want to leave to Ember. One day when she's in charge of the shop, she gets overwhelmed and causes a leak in the shop's basement. Enter Wade (who's a health code inspector) and issues her a ticket for code violations, which could get her parents' shop closed.
Ember rushes to explain the situation to Wade so he could rescind the ticket, but he already submitted it to his boss. Then they track this boss who tells them there's some major leak in the city, and if they can track the source, the boss will forget about the code violations and the shop will be saved.
So Wade and Ember go on a journey around the city, spend time together, find this leak and fix it temporarily. Then they spend more time together at the beach, Ember's powers melt the sand and turn it into glass -- this gives them an idea for a more permanent fix of the leak. The shop is saved.
Wade and Ember spend more time together, meet each other's parents. They play games and Wade tells her he cares about her. Wade's mom suggests she should become an intern at a glass-making company. However, her dad wants her to run the shop. Shenanigans ensue and she needs to choose between two paths -- she breaks up with Wade, but also her father gets angry and no longer wants her to run the shop. Ember decides to leave the city but while leaving discovers that one of the glass pieces she used to fix the leak broke off and now a flood threatens her family's home.
She gets back there, Wade also appears but they get stuck in the basement, and because they have nowhere to go Wade begings to evaporate/dies.
Her family helps her out of the basement, they make up, a single water drops from the ceiling, and then Ember remembers something from the time she played a game with Wade, speaks the words he told her then, and Wade materializes out of those water drops. They kiss.
Ember gets and internship at the glass-making company and leaves the city together with Wade.
Fin.

But sometimes these headlines just make me laugh these days. Like you said, they're occasionally ignorant of story details or who the directors are (since there's a sort of condescension around animation, people don't follow details of actors / directors so much with animated films) and so on.
