There are lots of movies featuring zombies (if you doubt that, you can look at the listing on Wikipedia), and Zombieland is one of the easiest to recommend comedic zombie films. The movie follows the story of Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, who has avoided human contact as much as possible and now that an infection has ravaged through the country, he must band together with the remaining survivors in order to defeat the hordes of zombies.
Shy and timid Columbus meets Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson, who is almost an expert zombie killing machine reluctantly takes Columbus under his wings and together they travel: Columbus back to see his parents, and Tallahassee to find a Twinkie.
On the way they meet 2 sisters Little Rock and Wichita (since everyone in this movie is named after a city, in order to not develop any personal attachment) which complicate feelings as Columbus is a… virgin. As all these movies tend to do, the parties end up at an amusement park in the West Coast for the big finale.
The movie is a simple guilty and violent pleasure: plenty of zombies get killed in various ways, plenty of humans get killed and yet we develop a personal connection to the 4 survivors. The movie doesn’t have too many actors as this is a road trip of these 4 survivors: there is a cameo by a pretty big name actor as a human survivor, who feels very appropriate. In the end, this is one of the best zombie comedy movies (almost as good as Shawn of the Dead). If you are even remotely interested in a zombie comedy, make sure to visit Zombieland for some good fun.
