I've found myself in this position twice since beginning working FT. I find that most employers accept any answer you provide as long as you're honest. If you feel like the reason you're leaving and looking for a new position is something you could potentially do for this new job, try straying away from that answer. Perhaps it's best to say that your current position is just "not a fit" for what you looking for... and then explain why you feel this new position would be. This will deter the interviewer from asking more questions about why you left your old job, and will end with a positive note about the company you're interviewing with.

How about:
I'm looking for a better opportunity
I want a change of environment
The company is being bought out/sold
There is no room for growth
I don't like the work I am doing
There are tons of websites out there that can help too. Try www.monster.com or go to google and type in interview questions and a ton of sites should come up.
Good Luck!

just focus on the future and what you perceive as the advantages of the new place. don't down talk your existing job beyond things like lack of future growth opportunites, bs like that
